9 Mile Road- Australia
South Australia is Australia’s premier wine growing state, and Langhorne Creek is one of its cooler regions, allowing for better fruit definition. Vintage to vintage, it’s also very consistent. 9 Mile Road traverses this stunning growing region.
The name of these wines is from 9 Mile Road, an old drover’s path for cattle that runs through the Langhorne Creek appellation in South Australia.
The Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of spice, eucalyptus and mint. Deep red color with young garnet tones. Flavors of sweet black cherry, blackberry, and mulberry. A generous, structured palate exhibits good concentration. Juicy, fine tannins ensure a finish with great length. Very drinkable.
Shiraz
Vivid dark red color, with a touch of youthful purple. Aromatics of bing cherries and darker fruits. Luscious and full in the mouth, with a hint of cocoa and spicy licorice, ending with fine, lingering tannins. A real beauty.
