Expressive, fresh and lean, yet rich with length and depth. Tight, racy with a stony minerality, like drinking from a mountain stream: precise, enticing and mouth-watering.
From predominantly clay laden “Crede” soils at 250 m. Pale straw in the glass with fine bubbles and enduring mousse, white flower aromas, a generous but focused palate orchard and stone fruit, a hint of mineral with lingering zest and a crisp dry finish.
Sourced from California grapes and cellared in Canada, this full-bodied, blockbuster red kicks butt. Full throttle from start to finish: concentrated cassis, intense chocolate, mouth-coating tannins and a warm vanilla and clove finish. Tame with a well-seasoned New York strip steak.
Classic Kiwi-style SB with passion fruit, gooseberry, pink grapefruit, nectarine, tomato vine, lime zest and minerals. Vivid acidity carries the pure finale. Drink now.
The Merlot (75%) lends fragrant aromatics and lush fruitiness, while the Cab Sauv (25%) contributes intense blackcurrant and firm tannins. Tame its oaky spicy-smokiness with grilled meats.
Aging in Bourbon casks gives this hefty wine plenty of flavour and character, not to mention heady alcohol (15.5%). On the nose, red berry and wild berry flavours are accented with plenty of peppery spice. The tone shifts to rich blackberry in the mouth, supported by velvety tannins, dessert-like cherry chocolate flavours with a touch of spirity warmth on the finish.
From one of the Piedmont’s largest wineries, this is a 100% Barbera red with a spicy, bold nose of plums, cassis and nutmeg. Quite expressive on the palate with dark fruits, hints of cherries, a touch of mint and soft tannins. A bargain wine.
