From that irrefutable source of Gospel Truth: Wikipedia…“A black operation or black op is a covert operation typically involving activities that are highly clandestine and often outside of standard military protocol or even against the law.”Under these conditions, if you think you’re going to get lots of “Background” information, think again, Sunshine…

| Winemaker's Notes | A superb vintage for both Saperavi and Shiraz. The ripening was steady and untroubled by heat spikes; allowing ample time to lay down flavour and intensity. Unbelievably dark colours and amazing depth of flavour on the vine that steadily built throughout maturation. A smooth and successful op. |
| Drink | 2-8 years |
| Bouquet | Chunky, dense, and invitingly unusual. The Black Ops is a blunderbuss of fruit and spice, loaded with plums, roses, anise, cloves, and thyme. |
| Palate | An enormous mid-palate supports prettier florals amongst the deeper black fruit and mollasses notes. The tight, balanced fruit, is crunchy, fresh, and intense. |
| Food Match | Take the path less travelled: kangaroo with dukkah crust or redcurrant glaze; or maybe roast pork brushed with soy and black bean. |
