A Donkey and Goat 2005 Syrah Vielles Vignes, McDowell Valley
Evoking the practice in the Rhone Valley of penning donkeys and goats together (they like each other!), this very Rhone-like wine has bright, rich fruit that is beautifully balanced and very complex. “Vielles Vignes” means old vines (in this case between 60 and 90 years old), which increases the intensity and depth of the resulting wine. You can taste the wild herbs and spice of the Rhone in this wine, and a touch of chocolate adds richness to this full-bodied wine. Very limited. |

Angove's Nine Vines 2007 Rose
This is the store's first 2007 rose (it arrived here just 24 hours before the first French rose!) and this is a delicious one - full of red berries and freshness. Made from a blend of Shiraz and Grenache, this wine calls for Barbecue season to hurry up and get here, because it's going to be a smash hit with smokey ribs and juicy burgers. |

Teusner 2006 Joshua Barossa Valley Grenache, Mataro, Shiraz
65% of this wine is made from 70-80 year old Grenache vines, while the remainder of the wine is from Shiraz and Mataro (another name for Mourvdre). The wine reminds Randy of a juicy Ctes du Rhne, with its aro-ma of raspberries and leather. The palate is medium-bodied, with bright vibrant fruit, as this wine receives no oak treatment at all, so it is primarily a fruit-driven wine. You can tell as you get a mouthful of slightly tart raspberries. Per the winemaker, it pairs exceedingly well with sausages, olives, Italian dishes and stews. |
