2017 Blue Pyrenees Estate Red Blend Pyrenees 750 ml

Studded with 93-point praise from Wine Enthusiast—which deemed it “very sophisticated”—the 2017 Blue Pyrenees is the sort of Australian red that retailers and restaurants fight like mad over because it sells itself to value-minded buyers. 

Like full-bodied Napa Cabernets or juicy Tuscan Merlots? Here’s a serious, estate-made bottle that’ll taste like a million bucks with that medium-rare filet mignon.

This is Western Australia in a glass: bold, impenetrable ruby in hue, and so densely layered with black cherry, plum, and currant, you can practically sink your teeth into it. You’ll find this same power and tannic structure in the country’s most prestigious appellations like Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, but almost nowhere else will you find such quality for the money.

Blue Pyrenees is one of the leading wineries of Western Victoria, rated five stars by Aussie wine authority James Halliday. Huon Hooke, another top Australian wine critic and a judge for the Decanter World Wine Awards, says Blue Pyrenees is “consistently one of the best red wine producers in the country,” and calls the prices “a gift.”

Consisting of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon with 22% Merlot and dollops of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, polished to perfection in French- and American-oak barriques, this blend is a singular value. We just wish the opportunity to grab this phenomenal wine came more often.
