Reserve The Warden Red Blend
South Eastern, Australia
This is a big and bold Shiraz based blend from Australia.
Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, wood and spices.
Fruit forward with medium acidity.
Dry to off dry on the palate with a short tangy finish of sour cherries.
This 5 year old is still rich, but not complex. Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$20.

Dec 3rd, 2018The most impressive of the bunch. Huge tannins and spice, more earthy than fruit driven although some fruit is there.

I will agree that this is very good it's lower end partner has nothing on this and because of its reputation solely based on that was hesitant but also intrigued , I have to say this is pretty phenomenal big fruit flavor but not to much and great tannins and a great lengthy finish , blueberry jam on nose and jammy fruit and cassis and cardamom on palate and black current.

Like everyone else I was drawn in by the story/ label. The gimmick only takes this so far but once you taste you'll love this big red, smoky wine

Called 19 Crimes b/c committing 1 of 19 in UK, you were sent to Australia. The Warden is a Shiraz-based red blend (can’t find the rest of the blend, even the US distributor didn’t know…maybe it’s a Crime!) Dark purple red with aromas of dark berry fruits & spicy notes. The palate shows black cherry & plum flavors, with cinnamon spice and vanilla notes. Big wine with big tannins that needs a few minutes to breathe, Decant a must! Medium finish ends with jammy sweet notes & spice on the finish. Tasting Sample
