Upon conviction, British rogues, guilty of at least 1 of 19 Crimes, sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. Punishment by ‘transportation’ began in 1788, & many of the lawless died at sea. Shiraz-based blend with Cab Sauv & Grenache. Label story: 8/20/1865 Wilson was court martialed & sentenced to death, on 10/12/1867 he was put on Hougoumont, last convict ship to sail to Australia. Intense aromas, palate ripe cherry & plum with underlying sweetness. Full tannins, medium, ending with cacao and spicy notes. Tasting Sample.

This is really good. Deep deep purple color that explodes with ripe berries upfront and finishes smooth with a smokey chocolate flavor!

Did a wine tasting at my local liquor store, and this was a winner, especially for the price. Earthy, med-full body, very flavorful.

Слива чуть подсушенная, темная малина, сладковато в аромате. Вкус полный, гладко, причесано, чуть ванильно, танины мягенькие.
Обтекаемое такое вино, созданное, чтобы понравиться всем подряд, эдакий бесхарактерный yes man. Но добротно, что уж там.

Pours deep red. Aerated. Initial taste of raspberries with a hint of sweet cherries. A bold middle with a plummy explosion.

DARK blackish purple in the glass; solid core with color to the edge. Inviting nose of blackberry and a hint of menthol. Big, full-bodied palate of blackberry, blueberry, and dark plum. Medium minus acidity. Medium minus minus tannins. In other words, the old school Aussie style that got them into a bit of trouble with the critics, but kept them popular with the masses. Great with a burger or with spicy barbecue (I’m looking at *you* pulled pork!), or of course on its own by the glass. Drink now.
