Check out our newest Lost Highway label, which is featured in the June 2009 issue of American Style Magazine. The wine is a 2006 Super Tuscan made by the acclaimed Italian winery Felsina Berardenga, and the original label art was done by noted Philadelphia mosaic artist Jonathan Mandell. We look forward to the arrival of this eagerly anticipated offering early this summer.

Old Plains Raw Power 2006
Phillip White www.drankster.blogspot.com
Raw Power Adelaide Plains Shiraz 2006
14.9% alcohol; screw cap; 93+ points
The label textulates about some old geezer punk screamer with the name of Rawley Power, but this wine’s a sheila mate and a lived-in one at that. Still takes care of herself, mindja. Lives in a ricketty wood gypsy caravan that hasn’t moved from the wild oats since her dude fell in love with Bearded Lady, took the old Buick and vamoosed years ago when the circus come through. Sweet and homely, like, but sweetly mysterious. She musta loved him. All those old woody plum jam tweaks, a goat stew simmering on the Kookaburra. Pipe tobacco - she has a quiet puff while she listens to Phillip (sic) Adams on the bakelite wireless. (Why doesn’t he put an extra d in Adams?) Perfectly aged in big ol puncheons (think St. Henri, Campbell’s Bobbie Burns, Wynn’s Oven’s Valley Burgundy, Kanmantoo St George’s Claret ca 1890, anything made by Edmund Mazure) this wine shows that screw caps can protect aged wine as well as they keep baby ones juicy and fresh. Incredible value. Tim Freeland and Dominic Torzi did it. Well. Buy cases of it. oldplains@twpo.com.au 18 NOV 08.
