The d'Arry's Original is a Shiraz/Grenache blend aged completely in large oak upright tanks. It is a robust, gutsy, rustic but subtlely endowed wine that would be an ideal accompaniment to most bistro-inspired dishes. The wine (58% Shiraz and 42% Grenache) exhibits a blackberry/licorice-scented nose with smoke and cassis. Medium to full-bodied and ripe, with moderate tannin and noticeable acidity, this is a ripe, fleshy, attractive wine to consume in its youth, as well as over the next 7-8 years.
