Stickleback Red 08: fabulous
Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2010: The best wines in Aus under $15 Dec 2009The second label red blend from Langhorne Creek's Heartland is fabulous in the tricky 2008 vintage. The Stickleback Red is a blend of (predominantly) Shiraz with Cabernet Sauvignon and the two northern Italian varities, Dolcetto & Lagrein. Winemaker Ben Glaetzer has crafted a deep, dense, inky black, seamless blend that has velvety texture, power, richness and concentrated and neatly integrated tannins.
