Anyhow. About the wine. This is a straightforward port made from shiraz [it reminds me vaguely of the good solid Clocktower Port that Dave turned me on to years ago - another fine Yalumba product IIRC], but it's definitely got that weird Bonny Doon framboise thing floating all over it. It's utterly schizophrenic and I'm not sure it really works for me. It's good qua port until the raspberry kicks in, and it's delicious if you love raspberry - as soon as you can get past the shiraz. You know, maybe only Hershey's peanut butter cups succeed at two great tastes that go great together; this kind of falls flat. Still, it's another bitchen Gary Taxali label, so who cares?
