gkistler, welcome. I cannot find a listing for Almonte Cellers but do have a listing for the vinter. It seems to be a California Syrah which the winery named Shiraz, as the Australians do. Syrah and Shiraz wines are made from the same grape and referred to as Syrah in most countries except Australia where they call it Shiraz.
