December 14th, 2017. Ripper Red- New Wine Bottled and on our shelves. he terribly harsh winters of 2014 and 2015 wiped out our local Syrah vineyards and left us in a pickle because the Syrah was so good and we miss it. So, we turned to our friends Down Under and made a really nice Shiraz from the wonderful Aussie juices we have been importing. Ripper Red brings two great complementary wines together – our Down-Under Shiraz and local Noiret. The result a fantastic blend which in Australia, they’d say was a ripper. Ripper Red is intensely colored with great berry aromas, light oak, a bit of pepper, and a long, lightly tannic finish. Order Ripper Red here.
