From a single vineyard beside Deadman Lake, on the west side of the valley south of Oliver, this generously structured Syrah invites with wild red and black berries on the nose with smoky and earthy hints, before a plush and peppery palate with anise and mocha hints, before a lengthy spicy finish.
A wonderful perfume of dark chocolate, plum, dark cherry, violets, leather, tobacco smoke and spice beguile the senses. It is full-ish with ample persistency and Nebbiolo tannins rounding out the experience. Braised lamb shank required. Time frame: 15 years of cellaring.
Great value for the price. Catena could well be called the Mondavi of Argentina. Their Chardonnay has a toasty, nutty nose tinged with oak spice; it’s full-bodied with mouth-filling, sweet tropical fruit flavours carried on lively acidity.
A gold-medal winner at the Ontario Wine Awards 2016. Deep straw in colour with a green tint; apple nose with a spicy oak note; medium- to full-bodied, dry, minerally, apple, orange and peach flavours. Beautifully balanced with lively acidity. Rich and full on the palate with great length.
Straw-coloured with a minerally, apple nose and a touch of oak. Medium-bodied, dry and crisp, fresh on the palate with an expressive apple flavour carried on citrus acidity.
Fragrant floral and very pure citrus scents shift to clean green apple fruit flavours and a bright, crisp finish. Understated, food-friendly wine showing elegant simplicity.
A mild Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of fruit salad, lime, apple, melon, grapefruit, lilac, grass and white pepper. Dry, with a mineral core and hints of passion fruit and herbs on the finale.
