Wine Spectator
Highly Recommended - Gorgeous stuff, it practically radiates a range of aromas and flavors, balancing its ripe cherry, blackberry and plum fruit with hints of minerals and sweet spices that make the finish sing for days. Tempting to drink, but just wait. Best from 2008 through 2020.
Winery Notes:
96 Point Shiraz ONLY $36.99..... SELLING ON-LINE AS HIGH AS 89.00 A lot of controversy as why this wine was not chosen as the "Wine of the year" a few years back by the Wine Spectator, but who cares if it was it would be selling for over $100.00, now only $36.99 Comparisons!!!!! Wines rated 96 points by The Wine Spectator!! 2003 Ausone 96 Points selling for 900.00 2004 Bryant 96 Points selling for 700.00 1982 Cheval Blanc Selling for 1500.00 1961 Cheval Blanc Selling for 2500.00* Think "Sideways the movie".... Miles Had a treasure in his collection of wine -- A bottle of the 1961 Cheval Blanc (96 Point wine), that he wound up drinking in a fast food restaurant out of a paper cup. But this wine rated the same will cost you only $36.99 and we hope you will drink out of real good glassware!! 2004 SCHILD ESTATE SHIRAZ BAROSSSA We quote the WINE SPECTATOR "Gorgeous stuff, it practically radiates a range of aromas and flavors, balancing its ripe cherry, blackberry and plum fruit with hints of minerals and sweet spices that make the finish sing for days. Tempting to drink, but just wait. Best from 2008 through 2020."Additional Information

| Region : |
AustraliaWith the sixth largest wine industry in the world, Australia exports over 100,000,000 gallons a year. Climate conditions vary widely across Australia's many wine regions, creating ideal growing conditions for all of the Vitis vinifera varieties as well as "alternative" varietals like Tempranillo and Viognier, which are gaining popularity. Shiraz (Syrah) is the country's signature grape and the primary ingredient in Australia's most famous wine Penfolds Grange, which critic Robert Parker compared to Bordeaux's famous Petrus. Australian winemakers are know for their innovation, pioneering many viticultural techniques that they ritually share with their Northern Hemisphere-brethren during off-season travel.
