Highlight:

Anyone concerned whether the 2006 Eclipse might be getting long in the tooth should just relax (assuming good storage). A blend of 87% Grenache, 8% Graciano and 5% Shiraz, it's floral and fresh on the nose, hinting at roses, bay leaf, dried spices and quinine, yet flowing with black cherries across the full-bodied, velvety palate and onto a long, complex finish. - Joe Czerwinski

Description

The Noon Eclipse 2006 from McLaren Vale is a blend of mostly Grenache with Shiraz, sourced from old vines. It combines power with refinement, a hallmark of the producer’s style.

It offers layered aromas of kirsch, strawberry conserve, spice, earth, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet poised, with rich fruit balanced by fresh acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long, smooth, and harmonious, showing both depth and elegance
