winemaker's notes:

A classic, collectable Syrah - one of the best red wines to make it over here from Australia. Made from grapes grown on 50-100 year old vineyards, this McLaren Vale classic is matured nearly two years in new American oak prior to bottling. The richly textured fruit and deep, velvety tannins interweave beautifully into a long, harmonious finish. 15 years plus cellaring potential.

One of Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2002!

A Customer - NY, NY
My favorite dinner guest always brings a bottle for dinner! I always enjoy it after all the other guests have gone! This wine tastes great with a meal or on its own!
A Customer - Walla Walla, WA
Wow! This is a huge wine, with massive chocolate, ripe cherry and black currant flavors. If you want to impress your friends, or if you simply want a glass of intense, rich wine to go with your steak, this is the wine for you!
A Customer - Memphis, TN
We did a vertical tasting with the 1998 Balmoral Syrah vs. the 1999. We felt the '98 was a bit better, althought the '99 certainly is a fabulous wine. Very plummy, deep, great body, simply an outstanding choice for any special occasion. This is our favorite wine!!

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.
