Massena Tasting Notes
Dan Standish and Jaysen Collins met on the midnight shift during Clare Valley's 1999 vintage. Moonlight Run, their initial wine, derives its name from their nightly drive to and from the Barossa. On the drive home, they would share their ideas about the perfect wine to wash down a hard night's work. Out of this ideal, Moonlight Run and further collaboration was born. The wine is a Rhone-style blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsault.

Wine Advocate
The 2001 The Moonlight Run is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre, and Cinsault aged in neutral French oak. The Cinsault and Mourvedre come from 100-year old vines, the Grenache from 120-year old vines, and the Shiraz from 45-year old vines. This beauty’s inky purple color is followed by aromas of crushed black pepper intermixed with black raspberries, sweet cherries, cassis, and hints of licorice as well as earth. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, plush, and fleshy, this is a complex, full-bodied yet elegant Australian red to enjoy over the next 5-7 years. —Robert Parker, 90 points
