winemaker's notes:

Appearance: Opaque red-black, scarlet rim.
Aroma: Plums, prunes, milk chocolate, bitumen.
Palate: Dark plum jam. Freshly baked chocolate cake. Rich, mouth-filling, slightly chewy tannins.
With air contact time, black forest chocolate cake becomes more evident on the aroma.

critical acclaim:

"The purple/black 2008 Sarah's Blend is composed of 63% Shiraz, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Notes of smoke, espresso, damp earth, spice box, and assorted black fruits lead to a full-bodied, already complex, rich wine with loads of ripe fruit. The finish is long, smooth, and filled with flavor. "

I currently have bottles of Sarah's blend 2005, 2006 and 2007 in my wine cave. I love them....especially the 05. I just got 2 bottles of the 2008 vintage.....I thought I was drinking Manischewitz! Maybe I have a bad batch? Share you thoughts please!

This is the first time I had bought a bottle of this wine and was very surprised. It's well balanced, tastes great and goes with just about anything you are cooking.
