winemaker's notes:

The Shiraz/Viognier possesses the most uplifting, complex bouquet (honeysuckle, blackberries, and currants). This fruit-driven, medium-bodied, succulent red exhibits sweet tannin, loads of fruit, and a seductive style. This offering should find tremendous success in the American marketplace.

  Zonte Shiraz - 11/30/2007
I would buy this wine again

I tried this wine at The Cellar in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I'm usually a Merlot drinker, but nothing on the menu suited my fancy. Anyway, the nose was great, but the first taste....it was like velvet in my mouth--smooth, rich with a little chocolate feel to it. Wonderful. I'm trying to find where I can buy it in BG, other than at the restaurant.

A Customer - DC
If you love fruit, this one is for you. I unfortunately do not love the more fruit forward wines (prefer more earthy, peppery types). I also found this to be quite sweet. I think if you like "jammy" wines, and are ok with a sweeter style - then you will enjoy this.

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
