The name of this wine sounds like a Sylvia Day novel and might benefit from prefacing its name with “50 Shades of …”. But this wine is quite appropriately named just the way it is: there’s a seam of spice that runs right down the center and never gives up. But it manages to compliment everything in its path: blueberry, cassis, wisps of smoke and subtle white pepper. Watch out, this one just might have you ripping off your bodice; which would then make this wine what the Aussies call, “Ripper Stuff.”. Price: $34.95 – Rating: ****
