Wine of the Week: 2009 Langmeil Barossa ‘Three Gardens’
It’s the time of year for rich, full-bodied reds, and this week that would be the Langmeil Barossa “Three Gardens.†A blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Grenache, the 2009 has an understated elegance and a beautiful, silky texture. The fruit is bright with a touch of sweet spice and smooth tannins.
Bring it to a holiday dinner party or give some lucky red wine lover a bottle as a gift. At about $18, it’s a bargain.
Drink it with prime rib, braised lamb shanks, roasts and stews.
