Aromatic with loads of strawberry, raspberry, citrus and cranberry, juicy acidity, and great balance and weight. Hits far above its price point. A blend of Vinhão and Touriga Nacional. Roasted suckling pig or tandoori chicken are ideal.
Attractive aromas of lemon, apple, pear and pineapple, which intensify on the juicy palate. The stainless steel fermentation and twist-off top ensure bright fruitiness. Yet, there remains a satisfying weightiness that gives way to a minerally finish. Enjoy with West Coast halibut, salmon or sablefish.
A blend of Merlot from three distinct terroirs around Languedoc makes up this bright and fresh red. Plum, wild blackberry, light dough, stones, with a pure fruited core and lovely fine spicing on this brisk, herbal finish. Hits far beyond its price; Easy to drink, easy to like.
This gorgeously aged Guyanese rum is a must-try for anyone who appreciates fine spirits. A blend of mature rums (the youngest in the blend is 21 years old), it’s a spice-dusted, smoke-laced and immensely lengthy special-occasion dram; a rum that scotch lovers will appreciate.
A well priced, easy-drinking Pinot. Ruby colour with a candied raspberry nose, medium bodied, fruity, slightly sweet and jammy with enough tannin to give it structure. Easy drinking.
Light ruby in colour; earthy, raspberry and dried tea-leaf nose; medium-bodied, candied raspberry flavour with a note of smoky oak, lively acidity and a warm alcoholic finish.
I tasted this magnificent Muscat of Alexandria at the Vancouver Wine Festival. Amber colour with honey, orange peel, raisins, dates and figs on the nose; full-bodied with burnt sugar and molasses flavours, beautifully harmonious with enough acidity to balance and give great length.
