Tasting Notes Concentrated and ripe, the wine aged for 18 months using the barrels in which G.A.M. was previously aged. Pure aromas and flavors, with attractive notes of cassis, pepper and licorice lead to silky tannins and superb length on the finish.

Technical Notes Fruit harvested from several blocks within the Lopresti Vineyard was fermented on its skins at cool temperatures to preserve the bright, pure berry fruit.

Additional Notes Richard Tarlton was favourite among jesters to Queen Elizabeth I. Tarlton was the first to achieve national celebrity as a comedian and enjoyed a successful career in theatre as a leading member of the Queen's Players. As a writer, he was the author of popular ballads and plays. With Tarlton Shiraz, 'Jester' celebrates the era where boredom was alleviated through humour and the banal through intellect.
