Crafted by German winemaker Armin Diel (Schlossgut Diel). The fresh, exuberant nose highlights green apple, fragrant floral and exotic spice. The off-dry palate features tangy acidity and a rich mid-palate, bursting with juicy nectarine and spicy peach flavours. Delightfully long lime peel and wet stone finish. An irresistible anytime sipper.
Made from almost equal parts of Napa and Sonoma fruit, this Merlot is everything that you want from the varietal — plum, blackberries, black cherries, spice, coffee and cocoa — all built on a medium-bodied frame. Ripe, rich and easy to drink, it offers immediate gratification, or will age pleasantly for couple of years.
Now here's a really tasty Cabernet Sauvignon at a good price. Deeply coloured, this wine has a lovely bouquet of blackcurrants with a floral grace note. It's medium to full bodied with a richly extracted spicy flavour. Drinking well now.
Shows amazing depth, richness and concentration with a dark and savoury character, layers of blackberry, blueberry and wild berry fruit that take on a smoky, meaty, gamy edge with hints of bacon fat. Quite full with a mouth-coating and delicious complexity and a long, rich finish that goes on and on. Needs a big hunk of red meat.
Here is a solid all-purpose Napa Cab that won’t break the bank. Scents of blackberries, cassis, violets, earth, cocoa and tobacco smoke are built on a medium-bodied frame. There is very good length, with tannins present, but they are not obtrusive. Buy a couple of bottles for the BBQ season.
The absence of oak contact or malolactic fermentation means a fresh style. Expect lively honeydew melon, green apple and papaya fruit, followed by a citrus peel finish. The opaque ceramic bottle keeps the wine cooler longer when in the sunny outdoors. Looks and tastes poised for patio times.
Sourced from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara counties, hence the “may-oh-mee” moniker (meaning “coastal” in native Wappo language). Bright cool climate cherry, plum and cola join baking spice warmth. A rich mid-palate sets up spice-laden mocha finish. Delicious with pan-seared duck breast.
