winemaker's notes:

Number 64 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

This 2005 Shiraz shows generous and concentrated fruit with its flavors of dense dark chocolate, licorice, and spice. 100% barrel fermented in new and 1 year old American oak and barrel matured for 12 months. It has silky, smooth tannins and shows creamy developed characters and is overwhelmingly, mouthfillingly delicious.

"Cut from the same mold as the Sarah's Blend, the inky/blue/purple-colored 2005 Shiraz offers up sweet, rich aromas of blackberries, toasty wood, licorice, and a touch of pepper. This dense, opulent, fleshy, full, rich, mouthfilling, concentrated Shiraz should drink well for 3-4 years.""- The Wine Advocate"

  Great wine for the price - 1/28/2008

 I would buy this wine again
This wine is fruity and smooth. Really a great shiraz. Even my husband, who doesn't usually like reds, likes this one. Try the Marquis Philips Shiraz 9 as a special treat if you like this wine!

  Decent but not great - 12/5/2007
I would not buy this wine again
This wine is very drinkable, but doesn't really stand out in any area. It doesn't have the depth of flavors of a very good Shiraz/Syrah. For the special price, it isn't a bad deal, but at $20, there are much better out there.

  Rich but won't make you poor. - 11/26/2007

Very fruity, rich, and so dark it's almost brownish-purple, this wine goes great with dark chocolate. We had it with Valrhona 71% cocoa. I'm guessing it handles steak well, too.

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.
