2014 Noon Winery Eclipse Grenache Shiraz 750ml

From a small crop and a vintage of more modest alcohol levels, resulting in a dense, slow maturing wine. Denser and firmer in style than the Reserve Shiraz and Cabernet from the same vintage.The 2014 Eclipse is produced from 85% Grenache, 8% Shiraz and 7% Graciano; all estate grown in McLaren Vale.

Smells very inviting, with wild strawberries and kirsch liqueur, along with hints of cardamom and white pepper. A full bodied wine, with a lovely soft mid-palate texture before quite firm tannins on the long finish. Has excellent balance and lots of potential. Should mature nicely and be a long lived Eclipse.
