Vivino 92, ElsBob 91

Aromas of cloves and dark fruits, full-bodied, slightly sweet, and smooth. Will pair well with most red meats, cheese, and chocolate.

An excellent table wine at an unbelievable price, selling at half to a third of comparable wines.

Trivia: The wine is named after the nineteen crimes committed in Great Britian that were punishable by death or banishment to Australia. This punishment by ‘transportation’ began in 1788, and many of the lawless died at sea. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.
