winemaker's notes:

Estate single vineyard wine grown in the chilly surrounds of Mt McKenzie in the Eden Valley crafted through via our Italian heritage appassimento dry racking.

"Firm and focused, offering a juicy core of blueberry and plum flavors that keep singing against refined tannins, with a kiss of sweet oak and a subliminal level of acidity as the finish sails on and on. Drink now through 2016. 450 cases made."
92 Points
Wine Spectator
February 28, 2007

"Medium red-purple; a complex array of aromas and flavours ranging through sweet plum, blackberry, touches of dark chocolate, and spice; fine-grained tannins; Amarone style."
94 Points

  oaky and warming - 2/15/2009

 I would not buy this wine again
This wine is really pleasant to drink, pretty rich and oaky, not too sweet, it is really nice, super great on a cold day when you want a wine to warm up with. In the end though it is not that interesting regarding any fruity flavors, it does the job nicely with oakiness, this wine has its purpose, and though I might not buy again, it was a fun one to try.

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

Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
