D'Arenberg - The Bonsai Vine 2015

“A blend of 48% Grenache, 46% Shiraz, and 6% Mourvèdre, the 2015 Le Bonsai Vine Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre features aromas of dusty earth, cinnamon, and red plum. It is medium- to full-bodied, balanced by lively acidity that lends the red fruit flavors a hint of cranberry on the tangy, enticing finish. Like almost all Arenberg wines, it has the intensity to age well in the bottle.” (Wine Advocate 2018) Screw-cap closure
