19 Crimes The Banished Dark Red Wine
A blend that is brooding with richness. Like the wine rations served on convict ships, every sip deserves to be savored. Inky purple with aromas of strawberry jam, leather, and sweet spices; the palate is full and dry with medium acidity an soft tannins. Look for big fruity flavours of blackberry, strawberry jam, and vanilla followed by a lengthy, spicy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. 

Nineteen crimes turned criminal into colonists. Upon conviction, British rogues, guilty of at least one of the 19 crimes, were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by "transportation" began in 1788, and many of the lawless died at sea. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built. It would be a crime not to drink it!
