winemaker's notes:

"Break this out on Valentines Day and it will scotch any chocolate craving. Leave it in a decanter for a few hours, 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

  OUTSTANDING ! - 8/24/2009
I would buy this wine again
This is one of the most uniquely tasting full bodied wines I've ever tried among hundreds. I personally believe it's underrated. Tannins so rich it'll turn your tongue and teeth purple, so maybe not the best first date wine. This wine will impress one who truly appreciates wine without a doubt .

  Very smooth - 4/18/2009
I would buy this wine again
I tried this while away on business recently and really enjoyed it. It was velvety and smooth; berry and spicey.

  Not The Best Shiraz - 2/18/2009
I would not buy this wine again
Tried this wine at Bel and The Dragon in Windsor, UK and was not impressed. To date, it is my least favorite Shiraz. However, I do not prefer dry/bitter after taste.

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
