19 CRIMES SHIRAZ 14% 750ML

This is the Shiraz red wine from 19 Crimes, telling stories of great escapes from Australia. Who knew victorious escapades tasted this sweet? The man depicted in the picture is a man named Michael Harrington.

A British conscript turned infamous convict, Michael Harrington is perhaps best known for orchestrating one of the most daring escapes from Australia.

In 1876, Harrington, along with six others, braved a massive typhoon in nothing more than a tiny rowboat to board an American whaling ship in what is now remembered as the “Catalpa Rescue.”

Tasting Notes
A delightful fruity floral nose: dark fruit, blackberry and cherry. Vanilla on the end with a bit of tart. A bit more on the acidic side.

Food Pairing
Beef, Lamb, Game (deer, venison), Poultry
