Wine Tasting 16: 1998 Lindemans Pyrus from Coonawarra, Australia - 02:57

Coonawarra is situated about 380km south east of Adelaide, the wine capital of Australia. Coonawarra means Honeysuckle by the local Aboriginals. This is actually a cool climate region in South Australia excels in growing cabernet sauvignon (and shiraz). There they also plant some pinot noir, merlot and Cab Franc etc. The regional has a unique soil structure with a top layer of red terrarosa soil with an underlying layer of limestone. Wine produced are famous for being complex yet elegant and have excellent structure - not the typically loud upfront big body fruit bomb style from South Aussieland.

Lindemans produces 3 top wines from Coonawarra namely St. George, Limestone Ridge and Pyrus. Pyrus is a true Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The first feel from my nose was sweet and spicy oak, cola, root beer and dry orange peel plum with waxy red cherry berry fruit. On the mouth, the feel was a higher 'Aussie' style acidity then with the fruit, more sweet spicy oak (French oak), cola, subtle mint, mild tobacco, cedar and pencil shavings. Medium to full body with soft tannin means the wine is elegant yet has good structure. A true cool climate wine with complexity. The wine is still vibrant after 8 years from it's vintage. It's a great food wine (because of it's acidity) that can stand up a thick steak (It has structure/complexity) or a quality hand made pizza (elegant enough). The finish is fair and clean with more orange peel lingers on. (90-92 points) Michael Lam from the Beverage Review
