Winemaker / Tasting Notes
A family owned & operated Estate since 1984, Pike's has been making great wine in Australia's Clare Valley Region since 1984. They pride themselves in making premium table wines that reflect the variety, vintage, & regional characteristics offering a wide range of wine styles to suit all tastes. The Assemblage is Pike's Northern Rhone inspired Shiraz blend. Shiraz provides the power & plush mid-palate, Grenache brings the aromatic bright fruits, & Mourvedre contributes structure & spice. A medium to deep cherry red in color, the nose opens up with red cherry, blueberry, and mulberry aromas with emergent Chinese 5 Spice & subtle oak aromas with further airing. On its medium-bodied palate, red & blue fruit flavors are prominent with soft & smooth tannins along with hints of spice carrying over to a delicious finish. This complex, juicy, & savory red will pair well with a Shepherd's Pie or a Beef & Mushroom Pie.
