title: D'Arenberg 2009 The Wild Pixie Shiraz-Roussanne (McLaren Vale)
description: This is surprisingly tough and tannic for a wine that incorporates 8% of a white variety. But those mouth-drying tannins give shape to the cassis, cranberry and black olive notes. Take a chance by cellaring this rather austere wine for five years or so and see how it develops.
variety: Shiraz-Roussanne
designation: The Wild Pixie
