Shows good density to the bittersweet chocolate, hazelnut and blackberry pie flavors, with sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins that add richness to the complex blend of flavors. Clove, nutmeg and cumin aromas linger on the long finish. Drink now through 2028. 2,200 cases imported.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
WHAT? $14, 92 points? An ASTOUNDING buy...this is a no-brainer "case filler" to get our free shipping (just an idea). Made by Ben Riggs, the rockstar McLaren Vale winemaker behind heavyweights like Amon-Ra and Mr. Riggs. Rich, spicy, dark, intense Shiraz!
About the Producer
One of the original McLaren Vale pioneers, Thomas Goss (1810-1890), his wife Mary Ann (1813-1891) and their children arrived in South Australia from Devonshire in 1849. After success in the Victorian gold fields he established an iconic farming property, Ingleburne, now home to some of the McLaren Vale region's leading vineyards. In 2010, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth, it was decided to release a range of affordable McLaren Vale red wines and Adelaide Hills white wines under the Thomas Goss label. These wines are a tribute to the persistence of Thomas Goss and his family's long contribution to our beloved region. These wines offer tremendous value and are crafted by the legendary Aussie winemaker Ben Riggs (Amon-Ra, Penny's Hill, Journey's End, Auswan Creek and Chateau Lane to name a few.)
