From one of the small artesian producers Braydun Hill. They concentrate on Shiraz and do a wonderful job. The 2006 is excellent.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #89 – Sabella 2008 Reserve Shiraz
15 10 2011My Son, Tyler, and I share with you one of the most interesting marketing plays I have seen in winemaking. The winemaker is allowing us the consumer make the decision about how much oak maturation the wine gets as there is an oak block in the bottle. We then decide when to open the bottle and check out the effect of this wooden block.
