THE “AUSTRALIAN” BLEND<br />
$USD<br />
Just as merlot is used to flesh out the sometimes austere character of cabernet sauvignon<br />
the world over, syrah was once used in Bordeaux to do the same thing ~ adding spice,<br />
fruit and gusto to a reserved cabernet. In Australia that blend has become a classic,<br />
finding itself the base for many of the country’s most highly regarded and serious wines<br />
and these selections, from some of Australia’s better known producers, deftly illustrate<br />
the style.<br />
