I'm saving my third for Christmas. The Solms farm was by far the best when it came to the tasting tour. I bought three bottles of this from the farm in SA, it’s a fantastic wine.

The wine is striking. If you can find it get a bottle. They use a process that goes back to the romans called "Dessication on the vine". The stem is pinched when it reached a certain brix with pliers, cutting off water flow and causing the fruit to dry slightly before picking. The resultant juice has a concentration that has a slight touch of amarone like concentration but still fresh. Its really cool. Imported by Vinum Global. I know they are distributed on the west coast. The girl was sexy, like the wine, and i thought the candy stripes showed the fruit quality and the blood/slashed dress spoke to the dessication.

I am not sure that it completely makes sense to me, but it certainly allows me to visualize the wine. I suppose that's the point! This review is striking.
