1997 Butchers Block Red

The Butchers Block is the first full-bodied red blend from Turkey Flat.  It is a blend of Mataro (67%), Shiraz (17%) and Grenache (16%).  Each varietal component of this wine was vinified separately and subsequently matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 18 months. The result is a complex richly flavoursome wine with seamless oak integration.

Spicy plums and cherries are at the forefront of the palate with a lingering fine-grained textured tannin finish.
