2006 Carinya Ridge Riverina Durif

A bold reminder that big Aussie wines are not for the faint of heart. Blackish-blue in color, the nose is an eruption of juicy blueberry tumbling in a fountain of spice-laden dark chocolate. Chewy, chunky, and rich, the wine's imposing body of black fruits coats your palate and leaves a complex path of vanilla, smoke and grilled herbs in its wake. This brute opens up with air and finishes with blackberry, raisin, and liquered fruits that will have you cracking a big purple smile.
