Here comes the Medicine Man: Mr.Black's Concoction

May 08, 2007 by serge the concierge

When you take a look at Mr.Black's Concoction, you think it would have been perfectly at home in the wild wild west.
Well this 'medicine' is actually a delicious wine brought to us by Small Gully, a winery from the Barossa Valley in South Australia.

If it was from California, it would be called a Rhone Ranger with its blend of Grenache (39%), Shiraz (38%) and Mourvedre (23%).
This GSM (2003 vintage) combines good fruit with a little spice.

Around $15.
