Wine Tasting Videos Wine Tasting 30: 2002 Talomas Shiraz Cabernet from California 02:36
Talomas and Kiraala were joint projects between Robert Mondavi of the USA and Rosemount of Australia before they scraped the project when Mondavi was sold to Constellation Brands in 2004. The remaining stocks were sold off quietly and I, liked the rest of the wine vultures in Vancouver, managed to get a case of the 2002 Syrah/Cab (as well as their Chardonnay/Viognier and Cab/Merlot). Good creamy blackcurrant cassis with cola were detected from the glass. Upon tasting, upfront and vibrant black currant, wild blackberry fruit emerged followed by spices and black pepper. The wine has good acidity and good backbone. This wine was reduced by the importer from $25 to $9 when the Talomas/Kiraala project was terminated. Definitely one of the biggest BARGAIN in my wine buying history! Drink it up in the next 2 to 3 years. (Rating 89-91 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
