Peter Lehmann Seven Surveys 2007 Shiraz Mourvèdre Grenache (SMG)

A light ripe cherry red in the glass this wine is quite opaque with flashes of pink to the rims. Decent legs on this labelled at 14% alcohol. Quite pronounced with rich sweet dark berry fruits this blend from the start is an attractive drop. On first taste you get that sweetness on the front of the palate and a light acidity from this medium bodied, silky and well balanced twist on a traditional Rhône valley blend. The second mouthful just slides off the palate and lingers well with a medium length. In terms of flavours its that dark blackforest style flavours which make this wine very moreish. 


To make this easy this wine displays fruit, not too much acidity, silky feel in your mouth and terrific balance. Unless you hate fruit this is a wine that will please all.


Campbell Mattinson had this to say;

The trick here is to make a wine that does not taste dilute, even though it’s light and ‘easy’. The Lehmann cheapies manage to walk that fine line with remarkable consistency. Easier said than done.

Others have positives and negatives to say about it, myself 8/10 is fair I'd say for this very drinkable wine. Definitely worth it for a social drink


www.discountwines.com has this beauty at $14.95 a bottle and Dan's stocks this at a decent price as well, $20 would be the upper limit you would pay. Wine selectors also has this wine at a slightly more discounted price and you wouldn't be disappointed to receive it in a mixed dozen.


Grab one - try it, love it - buy more, don't mind - it buy more or if you really don't like it you haven't wasted too much on it. Great value for money and quite impressive. Hope you enjoy it.
