2008 d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia 750ml

Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2009 #82! The name 'Stump Jump' relates to the significant South Australian invention, the Stump Jump plough. This plough became a popular piece of machinery for ploughing fields because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled "mallee" Eucalypt roots and snags, saving valuable time and resources by not stopping the draught horse.

2008 d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia ENLARGE

2008 d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia 750ml

Inviting fresh plum aromas leap out of the glass with raspberry and pretty pot-pourri notes providing more complexity. The palate is juicy and spicy with an abundance of red fruits that are fresh and vibrant. Licorice and rose petals come through on the mid palate and an under-lying earthy complexity is evident all the way through. The tannins are powdery and subtle on this juicy ready to drink red.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 90

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Ripe and open-textured, this is impressive for the way it packs in the cherry, blackberry and raspberry flavors and doesn’t take the foot off the gas pedal until the mineral-inflected finish has played through. Drink now through 2018.
