winemaker's notes:

Sweet notes of black currant and plum fruit accented by hints of anise, mocha and coffee. The juicy palate with fine, integrated tannins leads to a silky finish.

I would buy this wine again

I love a good peppery wine with some acidity. The taste lingers in your mouth well past the swallow. With a brief blackberry hint, this wine is very well constructed and elegant to drink.

  Bold and fruity. - 1/8/2008
I would buy this wine again

Just by the aroma I could tell this was a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz. Taste was full bodied with blueberry, blackberry, and peppery spice that lingered long after you swallow. Definitely a wow wine. Great price too!

A Customer - Alpharetta, GA
One of my faves, especially for the price. Well-constructed, classy and refined. Can't go wrong with McLaren-Vale district in my opinion and this is a great example. Tangy, spicy, complex and delicious.

A Customer - B. Ingram - Austin, TX
Tangy acidity with hints of blackberry, spice and licorice. Matches well with filet, lamb or BBQ. Exceptional quality for the price. You won't be disappointed.

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.
