A blend of 68% Shiraz, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, the 2009 Pillar Box Red has a deep garnet-purple color and pronounced aromas of warm blackberries, spiced plums and mulberries with a whiff of cassis. Full-bodied with medium-high acid and a low to medium level of soft tannins, a good amount of rich fruit, and a long spicy finish, this is one to drink now through 2013. In the remote, Limestone Coast sub-region of Padthaway (just north of Coonawarra and slightly warmer), Henry’s Drive has been producing well made, regionally expressive and well priced wines since 1998. All the vineyards here are family owned so the wines are made from estate grown fruit with the majority of the plantings in Padthaway at the base of north-south hills and some on the hills, planted to a mix of terra rossa and sandy loam soils. In 2006 they purchased a 30 acre vineyard in McLaren Vale with the fruit featuring in the Dead Letter Office blend.Importer: Quintessential Wines, Napa, CA; tel. (914) 725-3479
