Short and Sweet! It's Dead Arm!
November 26, 2003

Short and sweet - These wines are limited and in high demand (especially the Dead Arm Shiraz!):
Purchase a set of the following wines from Australian producer d' Arenberg (one bottle each per set) -
2001 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon - McLaren Vale - $52.50
- "colossal...great intensity...tremendous upside potential" - Robert Parker (93+ points)
2001 The Ironstone Pressings (Southern Rhone Blend - 70% Grenache, 25% Shiraz, 5% Mourvedre) - McLaren Vale - $62.95
- "a blockbuster effort...blackberry, peppery fruit notes...aging potential 12-15+ years - Robert Parker (92+ points)
2002 The Laughing Magpie (Northern Rhone Blend - 93% Shiraz & 7% Viognier) - McLaren Vale - $34.95
- "An exotic, heady, flamboyantly-styled red....supple textured and opulent....drink well for 10-12 years - Robert Parker (93 points)
SAVE! Normally $150.40 - NOW for $132.35
BONUS OPTION!!
With each d' Arenberg set purchased you may order-
up to TWO - 375 ml bottles ($35 each- 12 available) or ONE 750 ml bottle ($70 - 6 available) of the 2001 D' Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz (90+ year old vine Shiraz) - McLaren Vale - RESERVED IN ORDER RECEIVED!
- "one of the greatest examples of this cuvee. Its dense black/purple color is accompanied by celestial aromas of melted licorice, graphite, blackberries, cassis, incense, anise, and toasty oak. Fabulously concentrated, with great purity, an unctuous, viscous texture, and an amazingly long, 60-second plus finish, this fabulous baby will need 5-6 years of cellaring, and should drink well over the following 20-25 years." - Robert Parker (98 points)
OR......DON'T DESPAIR!
up to TWO - 750 ml. bottles of the 2002 Oliverhill Shiraz Jimmy Section - McLaren Vale at $30.95 a bottle
- "a stunning proportioned, opaque purple-colored offering displaying notes of melted licorice interwoven with crËme de cassis, hickory smoke, and licorice. Layered and chewy, it is the antithesis of wimpy wine. Consume it over the next 10-15 years" - Robert Parker (94 points)
ADDITIONALLY!
There are 375 ml. bottles (I call this "parka port") available of the 2000 d' Arenberg Vintage Declared Shiraz Port for $17.95 a bottle > discounts up to $15.26 a bottle for a purchase of 12 combined bottles. Great stocking stuffer!
- "superb....boast chocolaty notes of creosote, espresso roast, and earth in its full-bodied, chewy, dense, powerful personality. The alcohol is well-integrated in this blockbuster fortified Shiraz that should age nicely for 15-20 years." - Robert Parker - (92 points)
