CLASSIC MCLAREN
Classic McLaren Winery sits amongst 150 acres on one of the most prestigious vineyards in McLaren Vale. Planted on gently undulating elevated hills, the winery commands spectacular views to the nearby township, hills and sea and so it is fitting that this magnificent site should be home to 'La Testa'. Grenache la Testa 1999 $46.99 "Aromas of black raspberry, graphite and sexy oak. Juicy, pure and penetrating, with excellent fruit intensity and firm acidity; much less roasted than the CMC yet still shows Madeira-like hints of walnut and apple. Fairly tannic on the finish." 90 Steve Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 7-8/01 "This one has a noble feel, round, firm and packed with jazzy berry and cherry flavors that persist through the fine-grain tannins on the finish, echoing the fruit and pretty floral notes nicely. Drink now through 2008. 500 cases made." 90 The Wine Spectator 11/15/01 |
