A nose of cherry and cassis, sweet oak, kirsch and lovely spices. The cherry-berry fruits are lush on the palate with added chocolate and spice notes. It’s not an overdone Merlot and shows some elegance through the finish. Pair with veal, lamb or beef stews.
Elegant, rich and subtle, with ripe, spicy currant, black cherry and plum flavours, great balance and concentration, supple and mouth-coating with an amazing finish that lingers with flavour. Great with roasted meats.
There’s a little Petite Sirah in this massive, full-blown Zinfandel. Deep ruby in colour with a creamy nose of plum and blackberry; sweet succulent fruit offering plum and blackcurrant flavours backed by sweet oak and peppery notes.
Mondavi pioneered this style of oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. The nose shows passion fruits, peach, creamy spice and ripe, exotic notes that jump from the glass. On the palate, the grapefruit, peach and tropical fruits are joined by vanilla spice, mouth-watering acidity and a rounded mouthfeel.
Floral and black fruit aromas on the nose. Fruit-forward style accentuates plums and berries. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add structure, complexity and interest to the finish. Grilled beef will tame the tannins, or hold for another year or two.
Delightful aromas of red fruits, fresh herbs and earthy bark notes. Notice the transition from fruit-forward red berries to sweet black cherry on the mid-palate to long, spice-laden finish. Ten per cent carbonic maceration lifts and softens the fruit. Ready to go for chicken or pork roasts.
An enticingly perfumed yet well-structured wine showing aromatic cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit, together with dried grass and hints of vanilla and chocolate. The taste is like biting into a cherry-filled chocolate, but contrasting acidity and a light tannic grip maintain a harmonious balance. Great value.
