Spicy, with sarsaparilla and clove accents to the smooth, vanilla-scented blueberry and blackberry flavors, finishing with notes of black tea. Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Drink now.

The 2017 Signature Series McLaren Vale GSM features slightly less Grenache and more Mourvèdre than the previous vintage, with the final blend coming in at 40% Grenache, 33% Shiraz and 27% Mourvèdre. Notes of dried spices and roasted meat are backed by strawberry and raspberry fruit, while the medium-bodied palate is lined with softly dusty tannins and bright acids mark the finish.
