This super red wine from the very good 1994 vintage scored 94/100 Parker points, "Rhone Ranger fans and lovers of Rhone Valley wines will be immensely impressed with what Tim Adams has accomplished with his new releases. The limited production Shiraz Aberfeldy (under 100 cases produced) emerges from an ancient, head-pruned vineyard planted in 1904. The wine is aged for 22 months in 100% new American oak casks before bottling. It is a wine of enormous richness, power, glycerin, and impact. The 1994 Shiraz Aberfeldy received a slightly higher score than the 1995, only because it is a year older, and has developed some attractive roasted aromas, along with licorice, truffle, and cassis scents. It is an amazingly rich, thick, viscously-textured wine that rolls over the palate, offering up layers of jammy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. This full-bodied, sumptuously-textured wine possesses a finish that lasts for 30+ seconds. It should drink well for 15 years. Sadly, only 50 cases of this wine made it to America's shores, but that is slightly over half of the winery's total production!" Drink now - 2033.

This super red wine from the very good 1996 vintage scored 94/100 Parker points, This wine, called Joseph, is a Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and Merlot (10%) blend. It is made by Joseph Grilli, who produces it in the Amarone method, leaving the grapes to raisin before fermentation is commenced. However, unlike Amarone, there is no raisiny, pruny characteristics to this wine, which is made in limited quantities of 500-700 cases. The spectacular, opaque purple-colored 1996 Joseph is an individualistic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. With no oxidation, this powerful, rich, full-bodied wine (14.5% alcohol) is oozing with extract, has a thick, unctuously-textured mid-palate, and a 45-second finish. The wine is low in acidity and hugely concentrated, with Cabernet's tell-tale black currant fruit intermixed with tobacco, earth, and spice. Drink now - 2033.
