John Duval
Plexus Barossa Valley, Australia 2005
50% Shiraz, 34% Grenache and 16% Mourvedre. John Duval is among Australia’s most respected winemakers having spent 29 years as winemaker for Penfolds during which time it became world famous for the supreme high quality it its’ wine. He is now making a name for his own winery.
IWC 93 points, “Bright ruby. Focused raspberry and cassis aromas, with sexy Asian spice and vanilla notes adding complexity. A suave, silky mid-weight, with pure red and dark berry flavors braced by racy acidity. I love the interplay of sweet, juicy fruit, supple tannins and understated oak. Finishes with the clarity, complexity and persistence of wines that cost three times the price. One of the greatest values in Australian wine today.”
