There are 400 cases of the 2007 Austral Limited Release, a blend of 54% Mourvedre, 35% Grenache, and 11% Syrah aged in French and American oak for 15 months. Medium purple-colored, it reveals aromas of earth, underbrush, brier, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry. Savory, ripe, and sweetly-fruited, this nicely balanced offering will evolve for 1-2 years and offer prime drinking through 2019. Chateau Ste. Michelle continues to produce large quantities of quality wine at exceptionally fair prices.www.ste-michelle.com
