Rawson's Retreat: A Picnic in Strawberry Fields
Region: Australia, Barossa Valley
Producer: Penfolds
Varietal: Red, Shiraz/Cabernet
Vintage: 2009
Volume: 13.5%
Price: w12,500 (on sale)
Taste: fresh, fruity and lively - as gay as a wine can be
Notes: Strawberry, guinea spice, hibiscus, vanilla, black tea. Summer in a bottle. Cherry-red colour. I keep thinking of Ceres juices and summer camp. Auzzie wine is almost like bokbunja ju to me but with health-food-store and grandma vibe. I want to drink this on a swing. In Korea, Auzzie wine seems overpriced to me, maybe because of the tariffs but at w12,500 this is a steal.
Music: Rufus Wainwright - One Man Guy
Food: Strawberries always goes well with barbecue, black pepper and picnics.
