Aromas of pepper, bright blackberries and raspberries with hints of spice. Elegant, yet concentrated flavours of black cherries and blackberries, hints of spice and earth with good complexity, gentle tannins and a great freshness on the long lasting finish. Despite its elegance and delicacy, the wine possesses a great underlying structure, which should allow for it to continue to develop and evolve over the next 3 to 5 years. Quite versatile when pairing with food, matching with everything from a nicely prepared piece of Alberta beef to bison to duck ragout to hard cheeses.
An inexpensive red ripely perfumed with berry fruit and peppery spice. A touch jammy in the mouth, with milk chocolate, a bit of tannic grip and clean acidity.
Yes, you read correctly. Yellow Tail has released a Reserve Shiraz. All and all, it is pretty darn good juice, with all the eucalyptus, plums and vanilla present. Its very good length and some background tannins round out the enjoyable experience.
Sangiovese’s freshness tempers the richness of the Shiraz. Its medium body, along with a nose of chocolate chip cookie dough, plums, spices and dark cherries work wonderfully together. There is very good length, as well as a smooth texture.
Here is a superb value red! Medium bodied, it offers up a mélange of ripe plums, blackberries, cherries, spice, vanilla and cocoa. With no hard edges and a sweet mid palate, it is indeed a crowd pleaser. It is also tailor made for summer barbecues with family and friends. Purchase a case and enjoy its delights.
A well crafted Cab that offers great varietal character. Deep ruby in colour with a nose of cedar and blackcurrants laced with sweet spices. It’s medium to full bodied; the sweetness of the blackcurrant fruit is carried on a fine spine of acidity that gives the wine good persistence in the mouth.
My first experience with this wine was back in 2003, when I was teaching sommeliers in Chicago. Consistently, it is a wine that delivers maximum bang for the buck. Medium bodied, the dark plums, black raspberries, milk chocolate, earth and spice are all in the mix. There is excellent length and it is ready to drink.
