Black plum-red. Nose of blackberries, vanilla and smoke. Blended with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, resulting in a full-bodied yet interesting fruit bomb, mouth-watering and so concentrated it is almost sweet. Makes you “wish they all could be California…” wines. Will last till 2020.
This ultra-clean premium vodka recently walked away as the winner of the 2015 Global Vodka Masters Competition in London, England. Made with water exclusively sourced from an esker, a subterranean water reserve formed by the receding of an 8,000-year-old glacier in northern Quebec, it’s distilled 5 times and freeze-filtered. The result is a vodka that’s almost ethereal. Delicate and very subtle on the nose with a hint of grain, it boasts a silky texture and just a bare trace of mineral and vanilla. Very pure stuff for the vodka purist.
Ripe red fruit scents with a pinch of spice lead the way for blackberry and raspberry flavours backed by firm tannins and a splash of dark chocolate on the finish. Well-made, reliable quality.
Fresh nose with hints of salt, herbs and white flowers. Light body, lots of freshness thanks to the vivid acidity. A refreshing glass that will drink nicely with oysters or before them.
100% Gamay Noir with extended skin and lees contact yields pale salmon in the glass. Lifted crushed red berry aromas followed by vibrant acidity and lingering zesty notes with a touch of strawberry and pink grapefruit.
Dark ruby with a purple rim. Sweet, ripe red fruits, vanilla-scented oak and pastry notes. Soft texture, full body and ripe-fruit taste. The mellow tannins are barely felt in the pleasant finish. Ready to drink.
Minerally, oak notes of hot butter and smoke with hints of tropical fruits and struck match. Affirmed acidity from start to finish with a fatty mid-palate of very good volume and flavour intensity. Drink or hold 1 to 2 years.
