winemaker's notes:

Number 24 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2007!

The 2005 vintage of Entity is an intricately structured wine comprised of rich and vibrant Shiraz fruit. A true reflection of Barossa's soil and climate, Entity displays deep color and distinctive structure. Intense and elegant, Entity expresses aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry and a hint of spice.

Traditional winemaking practices and eighteen months in French oak barriques will ensure the age worthiness of this second release. Enjoy the 2005 vintage now or cellar it for 10 years to garner additional complexity.

"A beautiful evocation of plum and blackberry balanced against a veil of creamy oak - but only a veil. It's the fruit that distinguishes the long, expressive finish. Shiraz. Best from 2009 through 2017."

I would not buy this wine again
Unfortunately, this wine didn't do much for me. Definitely palatable but nothing special either. There is plenty of Shiraz out there in this price range that will knock your socks off. For me, this just wasn't one of them.

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
