Philip Shaw No 17 Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon
Intense yet elegant. A clean, precise and powerful expression of dark berry fruits, fine tannins and intergrated oak.
Thompson Estate Cabernet Merlot
Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
Founded 130 years ago, Wente Vineyards is America's oldest, continuously operated family-owned winery and was the first winery to introduce Chardonnay to California. The Morning Fog Chardonnay gets its name from the summer morning fog that billows inland through the Golden Gate into the bowl of the San Francisco Bay. It is crisp and bright with flavours of melon, vanilla and oak. Double Gold - Best Overall USA White Wine - Mundus Vini 2017
Les Hauts de Bel Air
Jean-Marc Sauboua was born and raised in the heart of Grand Cru Bordeaux and has a book filled with useful contacts. He’s a winemaker too (trained at Château Haut Brion) as well as a top Bordeaux Buyer, hence both the great quality and value of this juicy claret. Not only that, 2017 was a year where yields were down 40%. Jean-Marc tasted his way through a few dozen vats of wine to pick out the best. He then helped the winemaker put a blend together that had just the right balance of forward ripe fruit and silky tannins to make this a great value early drinker. Decant
Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a cabernet from California. Has a pure varietal fruit-driven quality on the nose. Dusty blackcurrant. The palate shows more sweet fruit characters with a slightly confectionary sweetness on the middle palate...Eminently drinkable red wine for current quaffing.
Robert Mondavi Vint Bourbon Barrels Cabernet
Deep, rich ruby in colour, it opens with concentrated aromas of blackberry cobbler, ripe dark berries, graham cracker, brown sugar, vanilla, milk chocolate, and toasty oak with notes of coffee and smoke. Flavors of ripe blackberry cobbler, blueberry pie, praline, sweet vanilla custard, brown sugar, caramel, and mocha, with hints of coffee and smoke. Soft, chewy tannins and toasty oak round the wine out with a long, lush finish.
Fire Gully Cabernet Merlot
From the highly regarded wine making team at Pierro comes this more than worthy second label. Expressive red berry characters on the nose are intermingled with nuances of blood plum, and on the palate these flavours are underpinned by subtle oak.
Tikves Merlot Special Selection
Dry red wine with a deep ruby red color. It exhibits refined grape aromas, honey and a mixture of caramelized wild berries. Its harmonious flavor is a result of the balance between acids, extracts and alcohol content, full bodied, rounded with velvety tannin and a long finish. Pairs exquisitely with lamb, pork or chicken at 16-18C.
Logan Weemala Merlot
Champions of cool-climate New South Wales, Logan have produced a Merlot with balanced fruit sweetness with true complexity. There is plenty of smooth, rich and voluptuous fruit on offer while fine-grained tannin and structured acid add a further dimension to this luscious wine. One could certainly argue that this is the perfect food match wine.
Flametree Cabernet Merlot
A lovely example of Margaret River Cabernet Merlot, Flametree Cabernet Merlot is showing big dense fruit characters of blackcurrant and stewed plums. A silky seamless palate with rich fruit concentration and chocolaty complexity. Matured in French oak barrels has softened and rounded this wine.
