Red Schooner 'Transit' by Caymus

Their new “Red Wine of the World,” this red blend is sourced from famed regions of Southern Australia, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Mostly Shiraz with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, Transit 1 is bold yet nuanced, featuring scents of smoky meat, chocolate and wet soil. A hint of mint on the palate stems from native trees. Just like their Red Schooner Malbec from Argentina is known by the “voyage” that produced it, this wine is called a sequential “transit.” Tasting Notes: A dark, swirling purple, this wine has a wildness to match. Intense scents of smoky meat, chocolate and wet soil are layered with light wood and a whiff of mint, The palate reveals a unique Australian character, featuring flavours of plum and more refreshing mint. Soft, dusty tannins give this wine a textural richness that enhances its aromas and flavours. On the finish: traces of brown spice add a final kick to lush fruit. 91 Points - Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
