2005 John Duval Entity Grenache Shriaz Blend Barossa Valley
The 2006 Plexus is composed of 52% Shiraz, 30% Grenache, and 18% Mourvedre. Purple-colored, it offers up an exotic concoction of underbrush, violets, leather, black cherry, and blueberry pie. On the palate, this sexy effort is opulent, succulent, incipiently complex, and altogether hedonistic. It should perform well for a decade. In the scheme of things, it is also a terrific value.
John Duval was the principal winemaker at Penfolds Grange from 1986 to 2002. Jay Miller Wine Advocate # 181 Feb 2009
