Winemaker Notes
Deep Black Purple. Intense aromas of blackcurrent, Stewed plums, Cherry, and chocolate. Full bodied berry palate with a sweet long lasting finish.
Critical Acclaim
RP91Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The current release of the Ball Buster is the 2016 The Ball Buster Proprietary Red. Like previous vintages, it’s a full-bodied, plushly textured red, dominated by Shiraz (80%), with smaller amounts of Merlot (12%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (8%). Hints of dark chocolate accent black cherry and plum fruit, while the velvety tannins linger on the finish.
WS89Wine Spectator
Robust, featuring wild blackberry and blueberry flavors at the core, with freshly clipped sage and rosemary details and a lingering spicy cigar box aroma. The tannins are dense and appealingly chewy. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2032.
