Snoothrank:
This small producer - a bottle from whom was purchased at the Split (open-air) ... ... Peljeac Peninsula on the Croatian Dalmatian Coast is similar to a high-end Zinfandel from Sonoma and close enough to a 90 point wine that I blinked. The wine has an intriguing candy apple scent and is California-inspired with its additional sweet licorice an... Read More

Hi Everybody, I had just returned for 9 days in Dubrovnik, where we both fell in love with the wines. So much so, I'd really like to buy more. I'm hoping I'll be abel to buy them in Melbourne. In particular the raisin wine, Posek. So, delicious. Help me remember the time of my life, please.
