Daniel Ricciardo Secret Sauce. A red blend so good, I had to share it. Wine Made with my great frieds at St Hugo.

A vibrant dry white with a smooth mid palate feel and zingy acidity. A blend of Parellada and White Grenache grapes. Brilliant very pale straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Spicy pear and red apple skin aromas mix with citrus and quince like notes. Vibrant fleshy pear and red apple fruits are underpinned by zingy acidity with some quince and spice characters also chiming in. Smooth river stone like mid palate feel finishing dry with a gentle tang. Drink over the next year. Alc. 12%

Grant Nash is a name coined by an autocorrect of the word Grenache. A group of like-minded Grenache fans produce the wines, largely from McLaren Vale sites and they are very good. Ironically this blend with Shiraz and Mourvedre – puts Mourvedre into ascendancy. "... a mixed spice nose of clove, pepper and other brown spices, the palate full-bodied and deep with good tannin structure and a touch of firmness. The fruit does the talking but it's far from simplistic. The Mourvèdre shows through and it has ageing potential.” (Huon Hooke, The Real Review).

Very pale salmon, some light red hues. Red fruits, raspberry, cranberry, a touch of liquorice, some light spice and earth. Pinot Noir is apparent on the front palate, with berries, fluffy talc and crystalline texture. The Grenache brings weight through the middle, a riot of red fruits and tarry spice. Mourvèdre fills the rear, with lovely fine extract framing the palate and adding length. A harmonious and very fine Minnow Rosé by Shadowfax: complex, dry and delicious.

Second label of 5th growth producer Château Lynch Moussas this classic blend of Cabernet and Merlot has a distinctive cherry and blackberry palate enhanced by vanilla and cedar notes.
