Sister's Run Old Testament Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra 2018

Barossa, Australia

91 Points - Wine Spectator

$17.95per bottle ($215.40per case)
12 bottles per case

Full & Bold

Sister’s Run is a serious fun, serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

The Old Testament vineyard is located in the heart of the Coonawarra. Good colour; it offers a savoury/spicy/leafy trifecta of flavours, with cedar and smooth tannins. All up elegance and finesse.

Serve with leg of lamb or other rich dishes.

This product is part of the LCBO Vintages program. It may take approximately 10-14 business days to be delivered.

About the Winery

Sister's Run

Sister’s Run is serious fun. Their talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then their winemaker and label took flight!

The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines they can from family vineyards. They don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.

Dense, detailed and wonderfully savory, with herbal accents of sage and bay leaf to the dense and concentrated blackberry flavors at the core, where a touch of espresso weaves in and out. Spice, mahogany and white pepper notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2031.

A perfect Cabernet entry. Alert bright fruit. Direct, full and fine and precise Cabernet softness. Rich mouth filling soft fruit, especially cedar and cassis. Juicy round blackberry sweetness, and red currant tartness tempered with some taut but typical Cabernet tannin.

This is a wine for grilled lamb burgers or steaks done medium-rare.

Schild Estate Shiraz Barossa Valley 2018

Full & Smooth

Schild Estate own over 134ha of estate vineyards throughout the Southern Barossa including some of the oldest vines in the world planted in 1847. Spread across 11 unique sites they produce a range of premium fruit. Having such an intimate knowledge of these site allows the winemaking and vineyard teams to achieve an absolute synergy from vineyard to winery to wine.

Under the guidance of Chief Winemaker Scott Hazeldine who works in close collaboration with Head Vigneron, Mick Schild the Schild Estate team are passionate in their belief that the best wines are driven by the unique characteristics of each vineyard which makes Schild Estate wines an authentic reflection of the terroir in the region.

Dark ruby, purple in colour with prominent, but controlled aromas of blood plums, mulberries and brambly hedge row fruit supported by fainter hints of dark chocolate and subtle pepper spice. In the mouth the same primary plum and mulberry notes show early. These dark fruit flavours persist and roll in waves out through the back of the palate, always with a clear line of travel in mind and bordered by a fine, but ever present tannin frame.

Pair this wine with grilled or roast beef especially served rare or with a pepper sauce. Also, barbecued ribs, sausages or smoked brisket or grilled vegetables. For the cooler months, this wine sings with big, rich stews and chilis.

This product is part of the LCBO Vintages program. It may take approximately 10-14 business days to be delivered.

From family vineyards in Lyndoch and Rowland Flat, matured in a mix of French and American oak. It is medium-bodied, and fresh as a daisy with its shower of red and dark cherry fruits. It carries its modest oak with ease, the tannins positive and balanced.

Sister's Run Cow's Corner Grenache/Shiraz/Mataro 2018

Barossa, Australia

$17.95per bottle ($215.40per case)

Full & Smooth

Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

Primary aromatics abound, and they are all a clarion call to fresh, bright, lively grenache:
berried fruits, red boiled lollies, homemade jelly, licorice and wild flowers. Higher notes of
fennel and of tar also loose off a few shots, in remembrance of the sunburnt mirth and the warm South. This red wine is an effortless three-step dance. An exalting, Cossack-kicking grenache quickly leads before being turned more slowly by earth, wind, and pepper’s fire - courtesy of the shiraz.

This red wine will deal with the most robust foodstuffs you can minister; and it
will be a red wine as happily chilled in the hotter weather as served in the depths of a long winter..
