This is a distinctive Cabernet in an appealing rich, complex style. It is full-bodied with a deep garnet colour, plus a fantastic aroma of plump blackberries, sweet vanilla and fresh violets. Notes of blackberries and cherries grace the pallet interwoven with rich tannins and pepper spice extracted from the Cabernet Sauvingon. This wine was picked as best in show in the 2009 Winemaker International Wine Competition. $143.99

Meritage Australia

Meritage is the name used for wine blends containing only classic Bordeaux grapes, but not made in that region. This one goes one better and is made in the New World style, resulting in a full-bodied, fruit forward flavourful blend that highlights all the characteristics of the three noble Bordeaux grapes it contains. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings dominate cassis flavours and firm tannins, while the Merlot softens the wine with hints of plum and violets. It is topped off with one of my favourite red gapes, Cabernet Franc, which adds dark cherry notes. Toast and vanilla flavours from the American oak create a balanced classic wine. Left to mature, the wine becomes lusciosly smooth and delicious.$147.99

A delectable bouquet of sweet ripe berries, spices and farm cherries opens up the palate, stacked with juicy fruit flavours and firmly structured tannins, Fermented on Merlot grape skins and un-toasted American oak, this wine is sure to create new waves of excitement. $151.99

Super Tuscan

Super Tuscan wines are not recognized as true Tuscan wines, which can only be made from traditonal grapes grown in Tuscany. And that is what, in my opinion, makes Super Tuscan wines better. They are blends of traditonal Tuscanny grapes and traditional French grapes, which are carefully blended together to make really fantastic wines. The result is a full-bodied, dry wine. This classic blend exudes aromatics of farm fresh raspberries supported by subtle hints of vanilla and earthy tones. Fermentation on untoasted American oak shavings and Merlot grape skins adds intense tannins to round out the concentrated nose of blackberries and black pepper. $147.99

Think Shiraz here because Syrah is the grape of that famous Australian wine. Bold and assertive, the bouquet is opulent with fibrant notes of blackcurrants, rich leather, and pepper spice laced with strong toasted oak. Fermentation on Syrah wine skins reveals bold overtones of dark chocolate, spice and an abundance of bold, chewy tannins. The finish is seamless, adding depth and character to this masterpiece.$143.99

Tempranillo Cabernet Spain

Tempranillo is like saying, "You had me a hello." This is one of the great wines of the world, and paired with Cabernet Sauvingon makes it even better. If there is such thing as a manly wine, this is it. As my old friend Bruce would say, "Meat." One sip of this and your want to be chewing on a big, medium/rare piece of red meat.

Mushroom, dried fruit and black pepper entice the nose and gracefull follow through to the palate. You will find lots of strong tannins and complexity in this wine.$147.99

Valpolicella Italy

Elegance and style come together to build this wine of true character. It boasts of a fruit forward nose distinguised by aromas of raisins, dark cherries and toasted oak.

The finish is dramatic, peppered with layers of dark fruit and aggresive oak. $143.99

Old Vine Zinfandel California

No, this is not a blush wine. Zinfandel is a fabulous true red wine that is always to be found in our wine cellar, or better yet, sitting in a glass aimed directly at my lips. Unlike that blush wine with the same name, true red Zinfandel comes from old vines that produce less berries and smaller grapes, that pack all the punch in smaller quanities of juice. This Zinfandel surrounds the palate with impressions of black cherries, and dark, plump fruit, framed with ample aromas of tobacco and dark coffee from the toasted French oak. Fermentation on Zinfandel wine skins results in a fruit-forward, full-bodied dry wine, yet displays an array of spicy flavours on the finish.$151.99
