Famille Perrin Cairanne Red Blend, 2011 - 90+ POINTS ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE!
Reg Price $23.99 - The perfect gift for the French Rhone wine collector!
Robert Parker said it best in his review of this gorgeous French collector wine! “This is an outstanding blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. The wine has wonderfully sweet cherry fruit with some blacker currants, dusty, loamy soil notes, garrigue and licorice. It is full-bodied, rich and certainly one of the best Cairannes I’ve tasted.” - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
The Cairanne is showing juicy acidity and excellent overall purity, it has outstanding potential and will deliver the goods over the coming 6-7 years. Drink 2014-2020. More details here!
Dona Paula 1100 Red Blend, 2012 - 94 POINTS TIM ATKIN, Master of Wine
Reg price $29.99 - Outstanding limited edition Red Blend from Argentina!
When we first tasted this wine with a panel of employees from the company last Spring, this was one of our "must have" items we couldn't wait for you to try! Master of Wine, Tim Atkin, says “Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are combined to produce this complex and balanced wine that is intensely purple in colour. In the nose, aromas of flowers like violets and sweet briar, which come from Malbec, can be perceived. Syrah adds spicy notes, good volume in the mouth and silky tannins. Finally, Cabernet Sauvignon provides great structure to this blend.” Make sure you get yourself a couple of bottles before it's too late! Details here.
Secateurs Badenhorst Family Wines Red Blend, 2012 - 93 POINTS DECANTER MAGAZINE
Reg Price $28.88 - Gold Medal Winner Decanter Wine Awards, trying something new from South Africa today!
Have you ever tried South African wines before? Because you're missing out! The aromas from this Red Blend are perfumed, peppery, spicey, smokey and exhibit ripe red fruit notes. As always the palate texture of this style of wine is supple, smooth on the entry but with enough grip to end dry and refreshing. In the mouth the texture and fineness of fruit tannin and drinkability of the wine is immediately evident. Looking for a gift for the wine-geek in the family? Take a long a bottle of this multi-award winning wine today!
Vineyard 29 Cru Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012 - 91 POINTS ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE
Reg Price $57.99 - The ultimate wine for the Napa Cab Collector!
When if comes to California Napa Cabs, this one of our go-to recommendations! And it's a favourite of Robert Parker's as well! - “The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is soft, seductive and opulent with a dense ruby/purple colour, considerably more fruit and richness than the 2011, medium to full body and good ripeness… it offers explosive fruit, a consumer-friendly style and 10-12 years of aging potential.” Looking for the perfect gift to give your boss this Christmas? This is it!
Penny's Hill Crackline Black Shiraz, 2012 - 94 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY!
Reg Price $33.99 - Deep, dark, rich & delicious, give this wine to you Aussie Wine Fan!
Penny's Hill Cracking Black Shiraz continues to be what all McLaren Vale Shiraz should be. Deliciously intense, with all its components looking their best and beautifully synchronised.
