R Winery does produce some good wines but they also produce a lot of bulk wine that is very uniteresting. Not everything imported by the great Dan Phillips is made of gold, even if Robert Parker Jr. is in the sack with him.bacchushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00608855217665181427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20515240.post-35614028753609281802008-08-30T00:27:00.000-07:002008-08-30T00:27:00.000-07:00I respect your opinion but think you will realize 10,000 wines down the road that this type of wine although powerful and extracted has no real complexity and is just another wine made in the cellar. Real terroir is what you will eventually grow to love as your palate matures my dear watson.bacchushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00608855217665181427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20515240.post-15437224173529632042008-08-05T08:29:00.000-07:002008-08-05T08:29:00.000-07:00I completely disagree with you, it seems you are not aware of what Australian Shiraz should taste like, maybe you should check your out of wack palate. If you would do a little research and understand the climate, the growing conditions, and the "reality" of South Australia you might be able to recognize a great Australian Shiraz when it smacks you in the palate. And if you were to do a little research you might better understand what R Wines Stands for and the people behind it. They make great wines that seem to be souring above your intelligence level. Great wines for great values, these are not wines that you will see in a grocery store like your "Old Fart" or "Old Bastard" Wines. Get down under and learn about where great wines like Luchador come from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
