(South Australia) Concentrated blueberry, cherry and raspberry syrup nose. Intense, firm and chunky with jammy fruit and rich, velvet texture.

The dark ruby-colored 2006 Grenache The Fave was sourced from 70-year-old vines and aged for 18 months in seasoned French and American oak. It reveals aromas of scorched earth, spice box, mineral, and black cherry. Easygoing and seamless on the palate, it offers a forward personality, ripe flavors, silky tannins, and excellent length. Drink it over the next eight years. The Kaesler family, of Silesian origin, emigrated to the Barossa in the 1840s. The winemaking is in the hands of Reid Bosward and Stephen Dew.Importer: Ben Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376

Kaesler's Grenache features wonderfully perfumed aromas of dried spices and cherries, but winds up a little thin on the palate, offering little more than crisp, bright watermelony fruit. Drink up.——J.C.(4/1/2010)—— 85
