School Block

2000 Mclaren Vale 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Shiraz, 15% Merlot

The Scarpantoni School Block from the 2000 vintage is a delightful red wine that showcases the vibrant character of the McLaren Vale region. Composed of seventy percent Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by a blend of Shiraz and Merlot, this wine offers a beautifully balanced profile. Its body presents a medium to full expression, harmonizing rich flavors with a pleasant mouthfeel. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall freshness of the wine. With prominent fruit intensity, expect bountiful notes of dark berries and plums, while subtle hints of spice add extra depth. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the palate. This wine is decidedly dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of culinary pairings, particularly hearty red sauces and grilled meats.
