winemaker's notes:

"The 2006 Wallace, tasted from a barrel sample, is a 70% Shiraz, 30% Grenache blend with an identical oak treatment. The 2006 is more structured than the 2005 but they could otherwise pass as identical twins. Hats off to Ben Glaetzer for producing an extraordinary portfolio!"
-Wine Advocate 91-94

"Deep red. Smoky black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by zesty white pepper and minerals; showing its grenache side today. Silky and sweet, with deep red berry preserve flavors, fully absorbed tannins and good bite. Leaves an exotic candied licorice note behind on the vibrant, juicy finish, which strongly repeats the red berry tone."
-International Wine Cellar

  Sweet and Pepper - 9/17/2008
I would buy this wine again

Such a fine, fine wine! This one is great even as you open the bottle, with a pepper/smoke flavor in the air. Decanting helps, but drinking right after opening isn't a terrible thing. It has a wonderful fruity, berry flavor with a pepper bite, and holds to the palate well for a fine finish.

 I would buy this wine again

When you first open the bottle you will feel a light pepper flavor. When you allow the wine to open up you will be rewarded with a great flow of flavor of blackberry.

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.

Organically grown grapes
