"A combination of 66% Shiraz and 34% Grenache, the 2005 The Schnell exhibits a denser ruby/purple color, deeper fruit purity and richness, and more seamlessness. It is best drunk over the next 3-4 years to take advantage of its exuberant youthfulness."

"Schnell! Schnell! Be quick! This is a ripe voluptuous blend of Barossa Shiraz and Grenache. The full, dense, spicy Shiraz is accentuated by juicy, red fruit Grenache. Carefully nurtured in American and French oak barrels - the result is a really fine drink! This satisfying red is best drunk in the first few years of its life to appreciate the wonderful fruit. A great food wine! Run, don't walk..."
