  Excellent wine for the price - 7/29/2008
I would buy this wine again
You can't go wrong with a McLaren Vale, Australia wine rated 91 by Robert Parker. This blend by d'Arenberg is a winner. I always find this wine satisfying, rich tasting and excellent with dinner or just for a relaxing evening.

  nice dry red at a great price - 6/24/2008
I would buy this wine again
Perhaps I just got a good bottle, having read some of the negative reviews. But my experience was a pleasant one; I enjoyed the really dry, rich flavor, and it had a nice finish. I should note, however, that my wife hated it, and couldn't finish a glass. The price is also hard to beat.

  Fake fruit - 5/10/2008
I would not buy this wine again
I was expecting more than what I rec'd with this one. It had that 'tanky', fake fruit/concentrate aroma & flavor.

I would buy this wine again
Nothing surprising, a good value. Good to open without thinking too much. Sort of typical Australian wine. D'arenberg makes much better wines.

  Disappointing - 3/12/2008

I would not buy this wine again
Maybe I got a bad bottle, but I was looking forward to this wine based upon its ratings and review. When I opened the bottle, The first two things I noticed were the beautiful color of the cork and the wine. The wine had decent legs, but upon sniffing the cork, I knew I was about to be let down. The cork smelled slightly vinegary, the bouquet was similarly hinting heavy handed on acid and tannin. Upon sipping the wine I noticed that the cork and bouquet belied the true nature of the wine. The tannins and acid were heavy handed, so much so that I could barely taste any of the undertones. I definitely won't buy this again. I'll still to my Pinot Noirs and Cabernet Sauvignons.

This is one of the best wines I've had in years. Typical of McLaren Vale, it is well balanced and bursting with great aroma.

Had this in a bar, so bought the bottle - just didn't drink as well as some other similar wines... not a bold pallette.

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.
