19 Crimes The Banished Dark Red blend is brooding with richness. Intense lifted dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics balanced with blackberry and plum fruits. Full and round on the palate with a distinct sweetness making the wine rich and mouth coating. The dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and complement the subtle flavors of cloves and cinnamon spice. The palate has a long rich plush finish brooding with dark forest fruits. Shiraz is dominant with finishes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache. 100% American Oak.

STORIES OF THE MEN AND WOMEN PICTURED ON THE LABELS!*
Nineteen crimes turned criminals into colonists. Upon conviction, British rogues guilty of a least one of the 19 crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by “transportation” began in 1783 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. The men and women on the labels are not those of fiction. They were flesh and blood. Criminals and scholars. In history, they share a bond – receiving “punishment by transportation.” It could have shattered their spirits. It didn’t. Today, we toast these men & women and the principles they lived by.
