Upon conviction British rogues guilty of at least 1 of 19 Crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by ‘transportation’ began in 1788, & many of the lawless died at sea. Blend of Shiraz, Grenache & Mataro. Label story: John Boyle O’Reilly was an Irish born poet who was arrested for mutiny in 1866. Sentenced to 20 years. Intense aromas, palate ripe berry fruits with underlying sweetness. Full tannins, medium, ending with cacao and oaky notes. Ok, for price. Tasting Sample

A simple red blend from Australia. Showing black fruits with chocolate notes and tobacco.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry to off dry on the palate with some RS.
Spicy and tangy finish with soft tannins.
A good everyday wine and good for parties. Simple and very drinkable.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
