Yes, Koonara again. We first tried this wine in its last vintage, and were immediately seduced. It, along with their "Temptress" cab. sav. (which will show up on this blog fairly soon), became one of our regular drinking wines, and I had no hesitation in shelling out for the new vintage, taste untasted. Believe me, I was not disappointed! The 2005 vintage is, if anything, better than the previous year's. And you'll have to trust me on that, because this wine is not available in bottle shops, so you'll have to take the plunge and grab a case from the cellar door.
The Seductress is 100% Shiraz, and shines a deep ruby red. The nose has rich spices, mulberry and cherry. On the tongue, it's thick and peppery, and your mouth is filled with chocolate and cherry which lingers on for ages.
Food: Roast lamb and chunky roast veges.
Price: Koonara's website shows it at $20 a bottle, but we got it at $16 at the release of the vintage. Give the winery a call - they're super friendly :-).
