QPR - Quality to Price Ratio - is an important factor when you are buying wine. Whether it is $9.00 or $59.00 you want to feel your wine is worth the spend. I post my suggestions on my blog and on Twitter. As well I talk about my Cellar Treasures and review Wine Books.

Grant Burge The Holy Trinity Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre 2008, Barossa Valley, South Australia Bottle

$29.95

Popular Rhone-style blend. Rose petal, red cherry (almost red licorice) on nose. Extremely well integrated (although you do feel a bit of heat from climate/alcohol). Lots of ripe fruit but good tannin/acid backbone. A must try!

Lovely brioche nose with a touch of minerality - lemon and apple. The palate followed through with grapefruit, lemon, apple and a biscuity quality. Elegant mousse and a lingering finish.
Tasted Sept 12

Medium dry/sweet - this beautifully balanced wine with honey, lime and peach notes is creamy in the mouth and has just enough acid to keep it fresh with a lasting finish.

Honeyed marmalade on palate and nose. Interesting, not cloying dues to cleansing acide streak. Great year for V.T in Alsace. I am told there is a touch of BA too. Tasted April 2012
