Old Bastard is a single vineyard wine made from fruit sourced from Kaesler's 1893 block of Shiraz. These vines yield less than 2 tons to the acre and are dry grown, hand pruned and picked. These vines have deep roots that contribute to greater uptake of minerals, which adds to the complexity of the wine and also have access to moisture at deeper levels.

It presents a superb perfume of cedar, violets, lavender, smoked meat, game, black raspberry, and blueberry. This leads to a voluptuous, velvety-textured, layered, super concentrated Shiraz in perfect balance with well-concealed tannins and a 60-second, pure finish.
