the "GOATFATHER" wine

My new favourite wine is now available in the Vintages section of the LCBO:

THE GOATFATHER 2005 VINTAGES 11072 750 mL bottle Price: $ 15.95

Wine, Still Table Wine, Red Still Table Wine14.5% Alcohol/Vol.Sugar Content : XDMade in: South Africa, South AfricaBy: The Goats do Roam Wine Company/FairviewRelease Date: Feb 2, 2008
Tasting Note(an idiosyncratic amalgam of shiraz, cabernet, merlot, barbera and primitivo) Bright, dark red. Smoky, liqueur-like berries, bitter cherry and gunflint on the nose. Supple and sweet but not at all sloppy owing to its firm acid spine. Spicy red fruit and pepper flavors finish with firmness. Score - 88.
