  It is what it is! - 6/25/2008
I would not buy this wine again

Sometimes wines just don't cut it and the Razor's Edge was dull. Not enough flavor, not enough bite, more like a low grade merlot than a great shiraz.

I would buy this wine again

I hesitate to comment so that people don't snap it all up. This wine was a surprise and a revelation. Nice, clean and smooth shiraz.

  Funny! - 1/31/2008
I would buy this wine again

Doug, Funny you mention "The Boxer" by Mollydooker. I've also experienced that wine and I agree... it is definitely up there in quality and taste. It's hard to go wrong with McLaren Vale. I tried a Barossa Valley shiraz recently, "3 Rings" and was highly disappointed.

I would buy this wine again

I compare this favorably to Molly Dooker, The Boxer, but it is about half the price! And I LOVE Molly Dooker Shiraz! Very rich and velvety is the way I would describe it.

  Full and Fruity - 1/7/2008
I would buy this wine again

This wine typifies those from the McLaren Vale region. This wine is full-bodied, bold, and smooth. I will buy this shiraz forever.

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.
