Hard to believe there's a portion of this wine sourced from 150yr estate owned vines. At this price? What?
Named in honour of the family’s original use for the building that now houses the Cellar Door, the Butchers Block Red is a 50/41/9 blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro.
"Total disassociation from all previous Turkey Flat labels is hard to fathom. It's an entry point wine, but that still doesn't answer the question. And it's not as if the quality of this reflects adversely against that of its peers. It's complex, relaxed, medium-bodied, its black fruits playing the game." 94pts - James Halliday - Wine Companion
"It’s something of a golden year for Grenache and blends from the Barossa Valley. This is not released as yet, so forewarned and all that. My forearms are quite slender, as it happens. Dark cherries, black raspberry, liquorice and spice. Full of flavour, but less than full-bodied, chocolate, earth and spice, succulence and depth, fine almost brick dust tannin, a bit of a ‘mineral’ feel, and very good length. Something like black forest cake flavour in the aftertaste, and other things too, of course. What a bargain." 94pts - Gary Walshe - WineFront
