Purplish rim. Red and black berries, pastry notes from the oak. Bright taste of red fruits, thick texture, generous chewy tannins and a good dose of alcohol for warmth, especially in the finish.
More coloured than most rosés, its nose is rather shy but it has freshness. There is more expression on the palate with good presence and body; a great balance and roundness in the mid-palate. A serious rosé meant for the table: think roasted poultry or a salmon steak. Ready to drink.
A multi-appellation blend which delivers plum, dark cherry, spice, vanilla and cocoa. It provides immediate gratification with its up-front personality but can go another 5 years in the cellar, if you so chose.
The name says it all: this is a big, fruit-driven Zin with a soft and succulent texture, and of course, 15.5% alcohol. Dark and red fruit jam, raisins, black tea and spice gush from the glass. A hedonistic wine in the truest sense.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Dense purple in colour with a spicy, cedary, blackcurrant nose backed by vanilla oak; medium- to full-bodied, dry and elegant, firmly structured plum and blackcurrant flavours with a tannic lift on the finish. Hold for 5 years.
Dense purple-black in colour with a spicy, cedary, blackcurrant bouquet; full-bodied, dry and concentrated flavours of cassis, plum and mocha chocolate finishing on a pencil-lead note. A keeper.
Dense purple-black in colour with a cedary, blackcurrant nose backed by evident oak (at the moment); full-bodied, dry, richly extracted plum and blackcurrant flavours; beautifully balanced with an engaging note of bitterness on the finish.
