winemaker's notes:

The Y Series Shiraz Viognier showcases the excellent varietal characters of these two grape varieties, co-fermented capturing their synergy. On the nose initial aromas of violets and sweet berry fruits are meshed with the subtle fragrance of apricot and musk. The palate is fresh with black currant and licorice. Berry-rich mid-palate fruits with a soft even texture and fine tannin finish.

Pogue Mahone - Wickliffe, OH (read all my reviews)
I would buy this wine again

Medium bodied red. Nice spice. Not a 90 as JH has rated more of an 88-89. But for the below $11 price. Pick up a case.

Anamarta Laviaguerre - Rancho Santa Fe, CA (read all my reviews)
I would not buy this wine again

I didn't like this wine and would not order it again. I had tried the 2005 vintage which was great, the 2006 is not.

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.

Organically grown grapes
