92 Point 2006 Tait "The Ball Buster," Barossa Red, Australia

Dear Rene,
Today we have two customer favorites making a return. The new vintage of Tait's "The Ball Buster" just received 92 points and we've got it! And we were able to get more of the delicious 2005 Buena Vista pinot noir that sold out in February.

"The Ball Buster" is back... and it's bigger and badder than ever.This big, bold, fruit- driven red from down under just earned 92 Points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Tait has been establishing a track record for hedonistically rendered wines at consumer friendly prices for several years. Previous vintages of this wine have been smash hits and the 2006 The Ball Buster is a lock to continue the trend. It is a 15,000 case cuvee, all of which was basket- pressed, a labor-intensive process not commonly associated with a wine in this price category. The wine is composed of 78% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot aged for 12 months in used French and American oak. Purple-colored, it exhibits a classy bouquet of cedar, earth, tar, espresso, blueberry, black currants, and licorice. Supple, ripe and soft on the palate, this seamless, crowd-pleaser of a wine can be enjoyed now and over the next several years. It is an awesome value."
If you like 'em big and full-flavored and you plan on grilling this summer, load up!
