it is not as saturated in color as the two previous vintages and is more advanced in its development. It is still a brilliant wine with glorious aromatics including spice box, fruitcake, dried fruits, and blueberry preserves. Savory, ripe, and elegant on the palate despite its size, it should be cellared for another 5 years and will give pleasure through 2023."

who remains the “uberboss” of the operation. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Shiraz and 8% Merlot, the 2008 Ode to Lorraine spent 18 months in new and seasoned French and American hogsheads. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives intense blueberry, black currant and spice box aromas with hints of prunes, licorice and some earth. Rich and full-bodied with medium to firm grainy tannins and plenty of enlivening acid, it finishes long with layers of mulberry and spice flavors. Approachable now, it should soften more in a year or so and drink best from 2012 to 2020+.

and blueberry. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a glossy texture, layered flavors bordering on opulent, incipient complexity, plenty of depth and richness, and a long, fruit-filled finish. It can be enjoyed now but will drink well for a decade.This is the first vintage of this wine produced and a first in the US as well. The Ashmeads decided to dedicate a special estate Shiraz to the memory of their beloved father Neil Ashmead. Early on Neil conducted the family business on the road and had an affection for fast cars as well. Hence the name “Grand Tourer Shiraz” was given to the wine. It’s seamless from start to finish and very apparent that a good deal of love and hard work went into producing it. We are very grateful to offer this special wine to our Hi-Time Customers.

Another wine destined for greatness! Our friend Jason Woodbridge (Hundred Acre “Kayli-Morgan” Cab) surprised us with his latest project .....a Single Vineyard Shiraz from Australia'Read More...
s Barossa Valley. The vineyard was planted by the top viticulturalist in Australia while he worked for Penfold’s. He selected the very best cuttings from Grange’s core vineyard blocks to create this unique site. The soil is true “Terra Rosa” meaning red soil over fractured limestone, this rare soil sequence allows Hundred Acre to produce a Shiraz like no other ever made down under. The vineyard yield in 2004 was a mere 0.8 tons per acre. The wine is unmistakably Hundred Acre; Powerful, elegant, complex, packed with concentrated black fruit and layer upon layer of subtle spice, mocha and smoke nuances. This wine bears more resemblance to it’s sister wine than it does to any other Shiraz made before. With the Kayli-Morgan Cab and the Ancient Way Shiraz side-by-side, the stylistic similarities are striking, one with nuances of Napa Cab, the other of Barossa Shiraz…both are without question among the finest wines made in the world. For Jayson Woodbridge, his winemaking style could be deemed as very “hands on”, each step from hand picking the vineyards in numerous passes, hand sorting the fruit berry by berry, the forest and age of wood carefully selected and measured prior to barrels being made. Everything hand crafted, hand pruned, scrutinized and aligned for his desired response, near critical perfection and some of the finest wine we've tasteed. A rare and exceptional beauty. Only 600 cases were made!

s vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The 96 year old vines are planted on the typical sand over clay soil profile characteristic of Vine Vale the sub region of the Barossa Valley. With Dan’s enormous passion for the wines of the Rhone Valley in the south of France, it was natural evolution that the wines made would reflect the intrinsic styles of the Rhone. As such, the second wine in the assemblage, The Relic, is a Shiraz and Viognier cofermented wine, as made in Cote Rotie. According to Robert Parker: Dan Standish is one of the Barossa’s up-and-coming superstars, and his wines merit serious attention.
