Attention-grabbing floral and raspberry aromas entice the nose. Juicy cherry and rich plum fruit flavours engage the palate, supported by an opulent texture and plush tannins. Spicy blackberry pie finish goes on and on. Totally pleasurable on its own, but delicious with red meats in a berry reduction sauce.
This opaque black wine has a purple rim. The combination of crème de cassis, raspberries, vanilla, dark chocolate, spice and hints of molasses flatter the senses. Full bodied, there is excellent length as well as firm yet ripe tannins. Drink it over the next 5 years.
This is the best wine I have tasted from Magnotta’s G Marquis portolio. 50% Merlot, 25% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Dense ruby-purple in colour with a bouquet of cedar and blackcurrants; medium-bodied; savoury, herbal, black olive and currant flavours with a floral grace note.
From Rock Pocket Vineyard, lifted aromas of fresh crushed red and black berries with some earthy notes precede a vibrant, juicy and layered palate of raspberry, damson and cassis notes, balanced by freshness and acidity with a distinctive mineral streak and lingering slate finish.
Pale pink. Perfumed, candied nose of strawberry, watermelon. A fruit bomb in the mouth, charming and round, its low acidity and a tad of residual sugar are an easy gulp. Not a serious wine, but it is hard to resist a second glass.
Structured and fresh blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and other Rhone varieties with red berries and peach flavours. Tavel is the only appellation in the Rhone Valley to produce only rosé wines. A versatile food wine that would pair with everything from chana masala to lamb carpaccio.
Ruby colour with a tawny rim; raspberry, vanilla and wood spice nose; medium-bodied, dry, sour-cherry flavour with a silky mouthfeel and a firm tannic finish. Needs a couple of years cellaring.
