Schild Estate Barossa Grenache Mourvedre Shiraz 2012



Schild Estate Barossa Grenache Mourvedre Shiraz (GMS) 2012 (SKU 527549, WS90, $24.96)
I bought this along with the Ebenezer 2007 when I was browsing in the Australian wine section. The screw top was easy to open. The nose was fruity and the color was dark. It was another Australian fruit bomb but paired easily with a variety of Chinese food. I drank it over five evenings and tasted fine even on the last day. With Chinese braised stuffed duck, it was a good match. Wine Spectator gave it 90 points with a Smart Buy label and indicated it was good from 2014 to 2019. I think that this is a good general purpose dinner wine for immediate consumption or short term cellaring. There is ample stock throughout the LDB stores.
