**FV NOTE - Cluster M45 is the name given to the wine for sale in the US market. In the UK, its called La Pleiade**
Deep garnet colored, the 2007 Cluster M45 Shiraz offers a lovely perfume of roses and potpourri over a core of cassis, blueberries and mocha plus a waft of anise. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with blue fruit and Indian spice flavors, plus chewy tannins and balanced acid, finishing long.
Very dark crimson. Treacly, leathery nose. Very sweet – pushed to the limit, I’d say. Amazingly sweet and rich. Finishes a bit tingly like some Châteauneufs. Sweet and smooth. Just a little hole towards the end – but definitely a walk on the wild side! This reminds me a little of the Mount Camel Grenache produced at Jasper Hill.
