Hot off the press!! I received my weekly email from Paul's of Chevy Chase this morning and it was full of good news. The 2007 vintage of Barossa Earth "Cat Amongst the Pigeons" is in stock and available in limited quantity.
Here are my tasting notes from the 2006 vintage.
1. "Nine Lives" Shiraz (92 points Wine Advocate) - opaque purple in color, hints of spice on the nose, and layers of flavor; blueberry and blackberry. Very nice finish.
2. "Cat Walk" Cabernet Sauvignon (91 points Wine Advocate) - purple / black in color, again hints of spice on the nose, and a nice layer of cherry...juicy wine with a smooth finish.
3. "Alley Cat" Shiraz (70%) / Grenache (30%) (91 points Wine Advocate) - one of my favorites..deep color, hints of cherry and blueberry on the nose and palate...very smooth beginning to end with a lingering finish on the palate.
4. "Fat Cat" Shiraz (75%) / Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) (91 points Wine Advocate) - my favorite...nice deep color...espresso and licorice aromas, very juice and sweet fruit smooth finish.
