Shiraz made in California by an Australian winemaker

[wondersofwine]

Went to a free tasting yesterday of Geyser Peak wines. Mick Schroeter, the winemaker from Australia was there. I stayed with the red wines. The cabernet sauvignon (1998) was drinking nicely now. Winemaker says it will age for 3-4 years. Better vintages will age for 10 years or more. I liked the reserve shiraz (1999?) considerably better than the regular shiraz until I heard the price. Over $50 a bottle at this Nantucket wine shop. Might be available for less elsewhere as Nantucket prices do run high. If you can get it at a bargain price, go for it. (Hmm, maybe I should have posted under Rhone wines because of the grape type.)
