Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1
$107.99
"Stylish, lifted nose settling into itself after a few years in bottle. A medium-bodied “classic” Bordeaux style featuring a fleshy, fruit-layered palate integrated with earthy complexity. In true Yarra Yering tradition, it combines power with poise, concentration with finesse. This is a wine for the long haul that will reward patience with abundance. 97 Points, James Halliday Wine Companion. Langton’s Classification – Outstanding. Trophy winner, Best Cabernet Varieties & Their Blends – Yarra Valley Wine Show 2018"
Foradori Lezer
$42.99
A newer addition to the Foradori line. This light, expressive version of Teroldego is a must for those who like a lighter wine. A fresh, bright and energetic red wine with fresh notes of bramble berry, eucalyptus and blossom. Perfect to chill down slightly and drink on the patio.
Montes Carmenere Purple Angel
$134.99
One of Chile's top wines, and certainly, one of the best examples of Carménère on the market. (Some might even say it IS the best.) Carménère is an amazing grape that absolutely thrives in Chile. Originally from France but almost forgotten on its home turf, Carménère has been reinvented in Chile. This big boastful red starts out with aromas of sage, blueberry, and blackberry and toasty oak. According to Robert Parker, it borders on opulent. A full-throttle red, layered with succulent flavours, and a long, pure finish. A Purple Angel indeed!
Vina Cobos Malbec Felino
$29.99
From one of the top names in North American winemaking these days! Paul Hobbs is American but works across North and South America. He is quickly becoming legendary, and Vina Cobos is one of his myriad projects. It was founded in 1999, a partnership between Hobbs and Andrea Marchiori (daughter of the vineyard's original owner) and Luis Barraud,enologist at Cobos. The Cobos winery may be new, but the vines are not. The Malbec vines are 60 to 80 years which explains the wine's wonderful concentration. Felino is the entry level. Well made and very well priced.
Greywacke Pinot Noir
$68.99
The review: "Fresh and aromatic, with green matcha tea, sea salt, lavender and melon notes to complement the pure macerated raspberry and juicy cherry fruit and generous velvety tannins. Gains complexity and nuance on the long finish. Drink now through 2027." Greywacke is the Marlborough label of Kevin Judd, and the fulfillment of a long held dream. Kevin was head winemaker at Cloudy Bay for many years and responsible for putting Cloudy Bay on the world wine map. It is so named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones found in the soils of the vineyard. Well made, well priced!
Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana
$25.99
Oustanding value! This ruby-red Sangiovese has generous notes of plum, cherry and soft spices. Established in 1970, Caparzo (meaning "Crazy House") is one of the original 13 wineries in Montalcino and also produces quality Brunello di Montalcino. This Sangiovese is crowd-pleaser with just a touch of Merlot and Petit Verdot to give the wine a bit more depth and intensity. Pair with tomato-based pasta, Italian sausage, caprese salad and pizza.
