Longhop Old VinesSomething was leaning in this photo and I am sure it was not me. Anyway, I’ll call it art. I’ll call it ‘The Leaning Longhop of Pizza’. If anyone would like a signed copy for $18,000 I am more than happy to oblige. All proceeds will go towards building a refuge for aged winemakers. So this is a blend of cabernet sauvignon 65% and shiraz 35%. The classic Australian blend.

Outrageously perfumed and floral with aromas of blackberry, creme de cassis, new leather and mint chocolate. On the palate an intense flood of blackberry nip, dark cherry, bitumen, mint and chocolate. Firm grainy tannins and warm alcohol. Finishes with cherry liqueur and earthy flavours. A hedonists delight. Consider yourself forewarned.
