John along with others are featured via real mug shots on each bottle with the real crimes listed on each box/case of wine. Meet John Boyle O’Reilly from the 19 CRIMES wine bottle label. Luckily I took notes that I could actually read and this wine made the list. As you can imagine it was a bit difficult to differentiate the wines after the first 100 🙂 even though we were spitting and not swallowing. We were introduced to hundreds of wines and given the opportunity to taste them all. I recently had the pleasure of attending my first regional wine meeting for Whole Foods Market. Good value? At under $13.00 you better believe it. I will continue to recommend this wine to customers looking for a fruit forward blend, also those customers new to wine wanting to find their footing. In fact maybe even more so now with its lighter body style. One thing didn’t change, three-quarters of the bottle disappeared before I knew what happened! 19 CRIMES continues to be an easy-drinker, a wine that can be paired well with many dishes. On the palate I detected a floral quality and red fruit with cocoa and vanilla as it opened. On the nose leather hit me first followed by red fruit and an earthiness as it opened. I would say on the light side of medium bodied. The first thing I noticed on this new 2014 vintage was that it was lighter in body than I recalled. Check out this short entertaining video and see how these “crimes” actually came to be: Turns out it was: #9 ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO ROB. Yes as many as you may know, each of the individual 19 crimes are listed on the cork.
So excited was I that I forgot to notice the listed crime on the cork. Not having had it for a while and watching it continuously fly off our store shelves I decided it was time to revisit the most recent vintage of 19 CRIMES. It is included below following this post. Hard to believe that I discovered this wine over two years ago as reported in GUILTY-19Crimes. In that time my original review has repeatedly made the daily Top visited list on Whine and Cheers. Sticky-sweet fortified wine Rutherglen is a beloved regional specialty of Victoria.This wine has legs, and I am not describing the usual wine reference. Yes, while it longingly coats your wine glass thanks to the alcohol level of about 14%, the longevity of 19 CRIMES on Whine and Cheers for Wine is admirable. Riesling thrives in the cool-climate Clare and Eden Valleys.
Sauvignon Blanc has recently surged in popularity to compete with New Zealand’s distinctive version and Semillon is often blended in Margaret River or shines on its own in the Hunter Valley. Chardonnay is common throughout the country and made in a wide range of styles. Grenache and Mourvèdre are also popular, both on their own and alongside Shiraz in Rhône Blends. Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia's second most planted variety, can be blended with Shiraz but also shines on its own particularly in Coonawarra and Margaret River. Shiraz is indeed Australia’s most celebrated and widely planted variety Barossa Valley leads the way, producing exceptionally bold and supple versions. Thanks to the country’s relatively agreeable climate throughout and the openness of its people, experimentation is common and ongoing. Australia has for several decades been at the forefront of winemaking technology and has widely adopted the use of screwcaps, even for some premium and ultra-premium bottles. Most of Australia's wine regions are concentrated in the south of the country with those inland experiencing warm, dry conditions and those in coastal areas receiving tropical, maritime or Mediterranean weather patterns. Both red wine and white wine from Australian are wildly popular and beloved. A large, climatically diverse country with incredibly diverse terrain, producing just about every wine style imaginable, Australia has a grand winemaking history and some of the oldest vines on the planet.
