Tasting Notes for d'Arenberg Sticks&Stones Tempranillo/Grenache/Sousao 2004 75cl:
Dark red berries, cranberries, plums, soy and violets on the nose. The palate is a powerful wall of fruit as the tannins and acidity race around your mouth which finally fantail out to a mix of minerals and dark black fruits on the finish.
Press Coverage:
"Made from Spanish and Portuguese varietals(Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Souzao), theinky/ruby/purple-hued 2004 The Sticks and Stonesoffers up aromas of graphite, blueberries,camphor, roasted meats, and smoked herbs. It isa rich, full-bodied, exotic red with a singularcharacter that should prove to be relatively longlivedgiven its tannic structure. Consume it overthe next 10-12 years."

Producer Information:
Joseph Rowe Osborn, founder of d'Arenberg and patron of the turf, bought his first McLaren Vale vineyards with the winnings of his racehorse, Footbolt, whose name lives on in Shiraz form. His grandson d'Arry and great-grandson Chester inherited the business and have built it into one of Australia's best loved wineries. The last decade has seen Chester develop a range of white wines every bit as individual and thrilling as the reds with which the company made its name. With the iconic red stripe labels and funky names d'Arenberg's wines have a loyal following, eager for more of the rich, concentrated fruit for which they are famous.
