It has also been one of my busiest summers to date. My workload has been tremendous, hence the lack of updates here on the blog, but that doesn’t mean my focus and dedication have waivered. I feel it’s time to do a little summer recap and introduce my readers to some of the great bottles I’ve enjoyed—before they are all gone.

JackaRoo Big Red 2003, SE Australia, $7.35 for 750 ml(49% Cab, 44% Shiraz, 7% Merlot)(Red Wine) According to my Google search, “Jackaroo” is an Australian term for an apprentice on a cattle station or ranch….

Evidence of this lake can be seen in the massive water washed boulders. As the rainfall declined the lake dried up leaving a deposit of calcareous silt many meters thick. The drying of the soil and the effect of the elements cured the top layer of this calcareous silt into rock hard calcium carbonate. At first it was thought that these soils were only suitable for pastures as the roots of orchards and vineyards could not penetrate the calcium carbonate. Wine Review: 2013 Arabella Shiraz. I have previously reviewed an Arabella wine not that long ago and thought it was very good.
In that same shipment from Naked Wines, I picked out the 2013 Arabella Shiraz because when you think of South African wine, you think Shiraz.
