The Fetish wines have made a huge splash on the US wine crowd ever since their release in 2004. Befitting its name, Playmates is modeled on a Rhone style blend utilizing three varietals: Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. Deep red in color, the luscious aromas reveal blackberries and red cherries, while subtle spice notes complement the richness of the fruit. Full-bodied, the multi-layered palate displays each of the three grapes in perfect balance. Not to mention the label is quite a head turner!

"Usually seen at a much higher price, this blend ofShiraz, Grenache and Mataro is an UNBELIEVABLE buy. The wine is supple and appealing with dark plum and cherry flavors that linger on the expansive finish. Great for steaks, chops, burgers and just about anything you can throw on your grill." Wine Buyer, 90 Points
"Supple and appealing for the clarity of the cherry and dark plum flavors, lingering on the polished finish. Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache. Drink now through 2013." Wine Spectator, 89 Points ($22 Release Price)
"Leaving aside the suggestive name and packaging, this is a very soft, almost pillowy-tender 80% Shiraz blend, with a fair bit of complexity. It starts with scents of hickory, cedar and vanilla, adds plum and black cherry fruit, then hints at espresso and black olive on the finish." Wine Enthusiast, 89 Points |
