Ballast Stone Estate Grenache 2004
"Rose petals, cherries and spice. Lighter in body, but big on flavour. McLaren Vale was built on this variety traditionally used in fortified wines. Today's winemakers are using minimal oak to allow the Grenache to show itself as a fruit driven, aromatic dry red table wine." -The Winery
Our price: $16.99

Charles Cimicky Shiraz Trumps 2008
91 Points - Wine Advocate, December 2009
"The 2008 Trumps Shiraz was aged in predominantly new American oak for 17 months. A glass-coating purple color, it displays a smoky, toasty, spicy nose leading to a fruit-filled, succulent Shiraz with a bit of underlying structure. This lengthy effort will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6-8 years." -Jay Miller

"Bright ruby. Very fresh, aromatic nose features black raspberry, violet, black pepper and licorice. Juicy and perfumed in the mouth, with a light touch to the intense red and dark berry and candied violet flavors. Quite brisk and refreshing, with zesty acidity adding spine. The spicy note carries through on the fruit-driven finish." -Josh Raynolds

d'Arenberg Derelict Vineyards
It is a black wine with a great purple hue. Intense, young, purple fruits and flowers combine with meat, earth and fresh bitumen to yield an intense, extremely inviting aroma.
The palate starts with a huge flavor. Thick, ripe mulberries, blackberries and blueberries progress into a rich, gutsy, licorice and bitumen palate, followed by masses of powerful, youthful, gritty fruit tannins, layered with tons of flowery, cranberry and dark fruit flavors, and a youthful acidity. This is a wine of intense concentration.

d'Arenberg Ironstone Pressings 2003
In its youth, d'Arenberg's The Ironstone Pressings has a deep, dark plum-purple color matched by just as intense black cherry, spice, plum, strawberry, a little liquorice and brooding blackcurrant aromas. Mulberry, ripe plum and fresh pepper dominate the rich full-bodied palate before a long, intense, rolling, dark cherry spice and gritty tannin finish.
Eventually, the Grenache and Shiraz blossom as rich, sweet, violet-like scents, with spicy based aroma, before malty, sweet, dark chocolate flavors and crunchy, chewy textured black olive, spicy ginger and long fleshy textures. The Mourvedre adds dried herbs and iodine characters, which are very persistent, matched with slightly chalky tannins.
