Peter Lehman of the Barossa's Clancy's Legendary Red

From the vineyards of Peter Lehman of the Barossa in Southern Australia springs Clancy's Legendary Red, somewhat of a shit-mix of Shiraz, Cab Sauv and Merlot. The sweet, rich depth of a good Australian Shiraz is prompt and present, tempered by the alcoholic sharpness of a fresh Cab Sauv. The Merlot, however, is lost in the shuffle entirely, at best tasting like Andrew Wilson calling up Owen and Luke to borrow some cash. Or maybe the gelfing-faced girl in Bananarama asking for more "face-time" in their Venus video. Or perhaps the drummer in ZZ Top. You get the point.

I will probably not buy this wine again, only because there are so many out there like it. But since I did drink (am drinking) it, it bears reviewing. But truthfully, the most remarkable thing about this wine is the length of its name.
