The Wine: 2006 Tempranillo
The Price: $20 at Jack Cellars
Nashwauk is an Australian winery, located near Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. Nashwauk was founded by Kaesler wines, who makes a variety of other interesting looking wines.
The bottle was stopped with a natural cork, and the wine was decanted 45 minutes prior to tasting.
The wine is very deep purple in color. It has aromas of cherries, blackberries and leather. It has a big, fruity cherry flavor with a spicy undertone. There is enough flavor that the wine would stand up well with a spicy meal, yet the spicy flavor is not so pronounced as to overwhelm the fruit flavor.
This is a really great wine! I'd say it's easily my favorite of the Australian wines I've sampled.
