Garnacha/Cariñena. The interesting bouquet reveals fine raspberry-like fruit with elegant spice and a subtle touch of oak. Both raspberry and blackberry come through on the palate, with notes of cinnamon and clove backed by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Shows greater refinement than usually found at this price.
This interesting (and affordable!) sherry was made specifically for the Canadian marketplace. It is a delight with a nose of figs, roasted nuts, sweet spice, raisin, toffee and espresso notes. It’s medium-sweet on the palate, pleasantly so, with rich and earthy flavours of dried fruits, almonds, prunes and a range of sweet spices.
A singular blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot, which is easy-drinking and chock full of blackberry, plum, cherry, anise flavours. Medium length. Sausage and peppers or hamburgers are solid pairings.
Deep ruby in colour with a cedary, earthy, leather nose coupled with smoky notes; medium-bodied, dry, red currant and cherry flavours with a herbal tinge.
Deep ruby colour with a bouquet of sandalwood and plum; medium-bodied, dry, elegant red plum flavour; nicely balanced, firmly structured with a minty note on the finish. A versatile food wine.
Rich ruby-purple colour with a cedary-sandalwood nose of cherries and a spicy note; medium-bodied, dry, red berry-fruit flavours with balancing acidity. Good length; good mouthfeel.
Offers lifted fragrant red and blackberry scents with a pinch of peppery spice and luscious fresh berry fruit, backed by lightly firm tannins and palate-cleansing acidity. Exceptional value for a well-made Rioja.
