An intriguing wine label can capture buyers and their bucks. A new arresting one is 19 Crimes Shiraz. It commemorates the criminals Britain transported to Australia in the late 1700s who helped build that great nation Down Under. Even stealing a loaf of bread in London could land you in irons on a wretched ship en route to permanent exile.
Criminally intense vanilla aromatics are balanced with ripe raspberry and plum fruits. Full and round bright-red wine with crimson hues that give way to subtle sweetness on the palate.
