winemaker's notes:

Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2005!

"This one is the best wine we have made under the Shiraz label, being a similar vintage to the 2001. The key to Forefathers is balance and complexity with underlying power. On the palate the wine is firm, textural and viscous. The long silky mouth makes the wine drink beautifully now, and will improve over the next five years. In 2003 we had very low yields culminating in big pepper spice flavors and very supple tannins. A wine that will be hard to have only one glass!" - Nick Goldschmidt Winemaker

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
