96 Points James Halliday — A McLaren Vale GSM Cult Classic

The 2017 Noon Winery Eclipse Grenache Shiraz is one of the most sought-after GSMs in Australia — a cult McLaren Vale blend from one of the region's most reclusive boutique producers.

My Wine Man on Noon Winery

Noon Winery is one of McLaren Vale's most cult and reclusive boutique producers, founded by Drew Noon. Eclipse is the winery's most celebrated GSM blend — Grenache-dominant from old, dry-grown vines, full-bodied and built for the long haul.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, Grenache cherry, blackberry, dried herbs, spice and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish. 96 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now and through 2032. Decant 1 hour.

Food Pairing

A 96-point old-vine McLaren Vale GSM deserves a generous match. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Lamb Backstrap from My Meat Man — pan-seared rare with rosemary and garlic, a magnificent match for Eclipse's dark plum, Grenache cherry and old-vine spice.
