Full-bodied, Mondavi’s flagship Chardonnay is a class act that is starting to show mature qualities. Peach, golden apple, pineapple, smoke, honey and mineral are all present. It is balanced, concentrated and possesses terrific length. Drink until 2019.
This wine certainly has a lot of heart! Golden apple, pineapple, mango, peaches-and-cream corn, butter and vanilla flatter. Ripe, it is rich on the palate with fine acidity giving a lift on the long, spice-tinged finale.
Youthful and effusive with bright, ripe flavours of black cherry, wild berry and raspberry. Silky and well-focused, finishing with a rush of fruit, spice and juicy tannins. A super value.
A great combination of fruit and structure with bold aromas and flavours of wild black berry, black cherry and spice; complex and dense with fresh earth, ripe but grippy tannins, great structure and a big finish. Will definitely benefit from a little more time in the bottle.
For those of you looking for a little something extra in your pink wines, this rosé made of Zinfandel from Lodi, California just might be the wine for you. The nose shows fresh raspberry, cherry and white flower notes. It’s clean and vibrant on the palate with red fruits joined by cassis and currant notes and a touch of tangerine in a perfectly dry style. An all-season rosé.
An opulent nose of poached pear, tropical fruits, coconut, vanilla oak spice and just a touch of citrus in this top-drawer Chard from Napa Valley. The palate reveals a poised and elegant style of Chardonnay with rich stone fruits balanced out by racy acidity and wood spices. Very fine Chardonnay that impresses all the way through the finish.
The Symphony grape is a cross of Muscat of Alexandria and Grenache Gris. Pale straw in colour with an aromatic, spicy Muscat-like nose; off-dry, grapey flavour of orange and cardamom; easy drinking, light on the palate with a faint spritz. Best with Asian dishes.
