Tasting Note :

Immediately appealing with a lifted fragrance of red summer fruits and an appetizing chocolate and oak complexity. An elegant acid balance sits nicely around a supple cord of fruit defining the palate. The tannins sit softly in the background making for a very approachable style boasting excellent varietal character. Excellent partner with roast turkey, a salad of broad beans and hot smoked salmon. |

Tasting Note :

Striking notes of gooseberry and crisp red capsicum weave across a background soft with passion fruit and lime juice. Tense and fresh acidity underpins the fruit streaming over the palate without upsetting the fine balance. Intense and vivid this is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc etched with the flavor of a terrific vintage. Enjoy with pan fried blue cod and a Greek salad or paella zesty with shellfish and smoked paprika.

Tasting Note :

This wine represents a luscious, medium dark, ruby red color. The aroma is a varietally correct Cabernet Sauvignon in the Bordeaux mold with black current and blackberry which is further complexified by the inclusion of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Flavors akin to black cherry, cassis and black cherry, cassis and blackberry are lush, smooth and round with a complementary touch of spicy oak.

Tasting Note :

The stunningly delicate character of this Pinot Noir offers up attractive aromas of red pie cherry, strawberry and plums. Flavors include the above plus red raspberry. On the palate this wine is smooth, soft yet with an agreeable touch of fruit tannin. The finish is decidedly fruity with mild tannins giving structure and length. Good to pair with salmon, barbecued chicken and Mexican food.

Tasting Note :
|
Dark and saturated with a rich, red color, this vintage has a very appealing element of smoky-toasty French oak with a strong blackberry fruit aroma, sweet and ripe. Flavors range from blackberry to black raspberry and plum. It is smooth on the palate and juicy with well structured fruit tannins. Fruit framed by these tannins grace the long finish. This wine complements red meat dishes.

Tasting Note :
|
This Viognier has a lovely, pale green straw color befitting its youth age and in fact is a wine best consumed in the flower of its youth. The aroma suggests flowers, honey clover and Chinese lychee. The fruit flavors are woven of ripe apple, pineapple and a hint of tangerine. The palate is nicely rounded and supple with a finish of clean acidity. It is a super companion with Thai, Vietnamese and other Asian foods as well as popular traditional chicken and fish entrees.
