SILVER MEDAL, 2003 SAN FRANCISCO INT'L WINE COMP. Straight-forward and delicious, the lively '01 Black Opal Cabernet stands tall as a wine of red wine substance; great with a charred halibut steak.

A deep, dark, and pleasing effort, the ripe-fruited Black Opal Shiraz is one of the world's best values; drinks well now.
