NV Sparkling Shiraz. Basket press. Dark purple hue. Wow - amazing nose. Black plums, sweet spice, mulberries, leather, and hints of earthy manure. Fabulous. On the palate, off dry, high acidity, deep concentration of flavours, medium plus body and medium alcohol. Great depth on the long lingering finish. A revelation. Clearly the best sparkling Aussie wine I have tried, never mind sparkling red wine. Awesome. 94 points. — 8 years ago

Wonderful and sweet without being sugary. Bought a few bottles of this and had friends over when the 2 bottles ran out I thought they were going to protest ! Ran back to Grocery Outlet and bought 4 more bottles :-) crowd pleaser — 9 years ago

1993 Screaming Eagle Cab. Drank at Press w K, Iana, S, and AG. Such a treat and very interesting as Kplanned it as a comp with the 1991 Harlan. For the first hour or so, we all favored the SE. Super unctuous and round, like velvet in the mouth. Then the wines came to temp and the picture completely changed and we all grew to favor the Harlan. Interestingly, the SE got flabby and very, very sweet. A thought it was bc it lacked the tannins that the Harlan showed. Anyway, SE turned almoSt port-like, with a nose of dates, raisins, and prunes. Amazing and fun to see the change throughout the night. — 10 years ago

From the same winemaker as Shebang. Really powerful and dense with flavor without being overly oaked or extracted. Rose petal, baked fruit, and gravel notes. Scored really well and has a ton of press. I would recommend it to collectors looking for something to cellar as well as to Prisoner fans looking for a pleasurable and intense blend. — 11 years ago
