| 2006 Pillar Box Australian (Red Blend) "Red" Winery: Pillar Box Vintage: 2006 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Red" Wine Category: Australian (Red Blend) Grape blend: 50% Shiraz, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, & 8% Merlot Region: Padthaway State or country: Australia Price: $12 Cases produced: 115,000 KWG Score: 88.6 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Good+ Review date: January 17, 2009 Wine Review: If you like your everyday reds to be ripe and fruity, this wine might be the perfect option for you. This very dark purple colored wine opens with a dark berry and oak like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, with very extracted, and juicy ripe blackberry flavors. The finish is quite dry and a little extended. Try this wine with a barbecue pulled pork sandwich and enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: The 2006 Pillar Box Red displays an opaque red-black color with a vibrant red-purple hue. The aroma is an enticing mixture of vanilla and mint, with a hint of wood smoke. It opens up to a sweet dark berries with liquorice notes. Flavors of ripe Satsuma plum and dark chocolate combine to create a rich, silky mouth feel, finishing with a spicy oak overlay. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Pillar Box 2006 Red.
