點擊次數：8708

The 2005 Tryst Red is composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Tempranillo, and 7% Zinfandel. Medium/dark ruby-colored, the aromatics are restrained but with coaxing cassis, cherry, and blackberry notes come forward. This leads to a medium-bodied wine made in a racy style with enough structure to hold the wine together. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Nepenthe, owned by the Tweddell Family, began as a viticulture management company before starting their own winery, located in Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, in 1994.Importer: Click Wine Group, Seattle, WA; www.nepenthe.com.au; Also tasted: 2006 Pinot Gris (82)

An interesting blend (70% Cab, 25% Tempranillo, 5% Zin), Tryst represents Nepenthe’s continuing efforts to break out of sterotypical Aussie wines. Vanilla and plum aromas and flavors carry a hint of eucalyptus, buffered by creamy tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2012.——J.C.(5/1/2008)—— 89
