winemaker's notes:

"Break this out on Valentines Day and it will scotch any chocolate craving. Leave it in a decanter for a few hourse, and the wine gains dimensions beyond those rich tannins, adding layers of fruity mushroom and pipe tobacoo scents... A great buy."
-Wines & Spirits

"Complete with retro label, archetypal McLaren Vale style except possibly for moderate alcohol; good entry and mid-palate, but picks up pace and thrust on a deliciously spiced finish and aftertaste."
-James Halliday

I would not buy this wine again

My least favorite Shiraz. Not sure if it's the vintage or if it's usual with this vineyard, but it was bitter like grape skins.

I would buy this wine again

It was a very good wine. I had a sirloin steak with my wine and a cheese platter. It went well with both of them. I highly recommend this 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.
