Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, light earth, cedar, black tea, light vanilla, tobacco leaf and black pepper.

Full-bodied, bold and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with cedar, light vanilla, blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, black coffee, tobacco leaf, black tea, licorice, black pepper and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink very nicely now, although still young. Concentrated and extracted.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours of airtime.

Wine Advocate 95 points.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the house of Hundred Acre is still young, and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Fruit forward, very complex and elegant.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

Gorgeous by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in new French Oak barrels for 30 months.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

From the cellar - a little too cold on this cold night. More spice than the usual white and black pepper. Dried meat. See previous Delectable notes. An incredible Show Record:- Good Wine Guides Best Shiraz and Wine of the Year in 2011 - 98 points from Nick Stock. Giving more on the 2nd night. Incredible length of flavour - goes on and on. This has always been one of my favourite Australian Red Wines and I have tried to buy it on a regular basis but it has become very expensive (over $200) - no doubt because of its impeccable quality. Northern Rhone in style. Only 400 cases made. — 2 years ago

HURRICANE PARTY

Pale salmon in color.

Light nose of citrus, strawberries, earth, light herbs and minerals.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and small bubbles.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, light cherries, limes, green apples, light grapefruits, minerals and herbs.

Long finish with limes and light almonds.

This is a delicious Rosé Champagne. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

This 16 year old is showing nice complexity at this point. Feels still young and very fresh. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

I've had this vintage a few times before, and it is very consistent.

A delicious Champagne that’s perfect for sipping on its own. Will also pair nicely with fresh seafood.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

I think most are wrong about this wine. The carbonic is well integrated so that it can cellar for short stint. My bottle has been open for a couple days allowing it to breathe and come to life. Completely under rated — 5 months ago

WS: 93. Suave and harmonious, with a firm frame of fine-grained tannins married to ripe black and red currant fruit, iron and ash, anise, black tea leaf and citrus peel notes. This expands on the palate and through the long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2035. 950 cases made, 400 cases imported.
