The 2006 Durif “Manuka Grove Vineyard” is opaque purple. Offering a big nose of black fruits, this full-bodied, muscular wine is full-flavored with plenty of ripe tannin and gobs of tightly wound fruit. Like the best Petite Sirahs from Ridge and Turley, give it a minimum of 10-15 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25 years. Nugan Estate produces 550,000 cases of wine and has 519 hectares of estate fruit under vine. They are the 13th largest exporter of Australian wine. As this portfolio of wines attest, they continue to focus on quality from top to bottom.Importer: Ken Onish and John Gorman, Southern Starz; tel.
