Barrel Monkeys
Barrel Monkeys Shiraz 2004
Australia, WINES
Not only does this wine have a very amusing label, but the wine itself reflects the label. It is a massive Shiraz, with dark, deep brooding color that gives you a hint of the impending attach of the nose and palate. Full of massive black berry fruits and even some dried plum along with licorice notes and rich full body and long finish. Not everyones cup o' tea...but those looking for Parker's hedonistic wines, this will work.

Kangarilla Road Vineyard
Kangarilla Rd. Shiraz 2004
Australia, WINES
It's funny to me when I see this wine advertised as a Shiraz/Viognier as if that is something unusual. I have even had people ask me what I think of those Shiraz/Viognier blends from Australia, as if the blend is only done there. Reality is that Cote-Rotie in Northern Rhone has been making that blend for centuries.
This nice little wine has that lovely elegance and finesse found in Northernn Rhone wines, and some might attribute that to the Viognier, maybe, but more likely it is the winemaker and vineyard managers decisions to make a balanced and aromatic wine rather than a big, jammy Shiraz many are used to.
In general I really like this wine and it is very good for the price. Even Robert Parker agrees with me on this one.

Big and unctuous wine, loved by the critics, escpecially Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate who ranked it among the best of the vintage (93pts).

Marquis Philips
Marquis Philips Shiraz 9 2001
Australia, WINES
The blockbuster 2001 Shiraz 9 (aged in 100% American oak for 12 months prior to bottling) boasts an opaque inky/blue/purple color as well as a stunning bouquet of melted licorice intermixed with creme de cassis, blackberries, white chocolate, and pepper. It possesses great flavor intensity, marvelous purity, and superb definition for such a sexy, opulent, blockbuster Shiraz fruit bomb. There is plenty of tannin under the wealth of glycerin and fruit, but this is a wine to enjoy now and over the next 12-15 years. - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Marquis Philips was the first wine project for Sarah and Sparky Marquis of the Mollydooker fame.

Carnival of Love 2006
Australia, WINES
The 2006 Shiraz “Carnival of Love” was sourced from a single vineyard. The sensational nose, consisting of violets, lilacs, meat, game, leather, blueberry, and chocolate, leaps from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied wine somehow manages to combine power with elegance. The sweet tannins are well-concealed and the finish lasts for at least one minute. It will provide pleasure for 25 years but who will be that patient?
97 pts -- The Wine Advocate | #8 in Winespectator's Top 100 wines of the year (95pts).

Sidre Doux, E Bordelet
France, WINES
The Sydre "Doux" is an off-dry apple cider, with about 80 grams per liter of sugar, yet it is beautifully balanced. A Brut apple has but about 5-10 grams per liter, so it's drier than many Brut Champagnes!

Lytton Springs bottlings are generally perceived as quintessential zinfandel, which is true, as far as it goes. On the Ridge Lytton Estate (East), zinfandel grows atop seven hills; petite sirah surrounds the zin on six, grenache on the seventh — an unusual configuration. There is some interplanting. Lytton Estate (West) is a magnificent hodgepodge of grapes, including more zinfandel, which seems so at home here. The wines are classic Dry Creek Valley. They show the potent, ripe boysenberry and blackberry of old-vine Sonoma zinfandel, notes of leaf and briar, and the | | |
