winemaker's notes:

This Shiraz is vibrant deep red in color with purple hues. The aromas exhibit blueberries, blackberries and dark plums overlaid with anise and smoky oak. Full, round and soft, this wine shows excellent depth across palate balanced by good acidity and fine long tannins.

Pair this Shiraz with slow roasted lamb shanks with tomato relish and creamy pepper mashed potatoes.

  Disgusting - 6/9/2009
I would not buy this wine again
Ethanol and grape juice. I wasted $24 and now can use it for cooking. Nose: grapes! Flavor: sour grapes. Complexity: None! Finish: almost none. Tanins: none--just a bit sour. Did I get a bad bottle? I rated this wine 1.5 on a scale of 1-7.

I was pleasantly surprised at how full bodied it was. It was a very drinkable wine. I would definitely order it again. Great for the price!

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
Green Wines
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."
