Oliver's Taranga 2006 Tempranillo SASep07 sells for $28 and is sealed under screwcap and it will also be released in November. The bouquet showed savoury, pongy, earthy mushroom with milk chocolate/mocha. The wine was fermented with natural yeast. It's well-structured with distinct fruit, dusty tannins (which sneak up on you) and lively acid. Red berry, milk chocolate, earthy/flinty notes and smoked meat/reductive type characters are found on the palate. It’s medium-weight with a firm consistency and diverse structure; rated as Recommended with *** for value, drink from 2010.
