19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon Australia Red Wine, 750ml

Felons, running roughshod over London town, were menacing good people, wreaking havoc and, caught by the scores, clogging every jail in the kingdom. This created a civic dilemma of colossal proportions. Meanwhile, two oceans away, a newly claimed and virgin continent beckoned. Yet the voyage was endless and brutal, the rewards meager to nil. The savagely elegant solution: punishment by transportation. A list of 19 Crimes was drawn. Conviction meant a long and often dangerous journey to a distant and unknown land. From the late 1700s to the late 1800s approximately 162,000 men and women were transported via prison ships to a desolate island for a violation of one of 19 Crimes. Australia, thus, was born. 19 Crimes wine celebrates Australia's infamous origin, and the stories of these men and women convicts-turned-colonists Bright red to crimson hues, this wine confidently takes charge with intense lifted vanilla aromatics balanced with red currants, violets, and mulberry fruits. Firm and full on the palate with a subtle sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and compliment subtle flavors of red currants, dark cherries, and chocolate. The palate is filled with dark berry fruit and the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.
