If a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away does that mean I can have two when its organic?
At this price you won't feel the pinch of the excess anyway. Fresh on the nose with pear and citrus blossoms, a hint of praline and oak spice on the back end. Crisp on the entry, the palate has a soft, creamy texture with flavours of pear, honey roasted nuts, citrus and minerals and lingering spice on ths finish. Balanced oak makes this a great food wine - pair with pasta primavera or chicken dishes.

Ripe and opulent aromas - black currants, vanilla, chocolate dipped cherries, warm oak spices and a hint of sweet herbs. The entry is smooth with juicy dark fruit, the mid-palate is supple leading to base flavours of chocolate, vanilla...earth and although the finish is still a bit tight at the moment it lingers nicely with spice and tobacco.
A very good showing!

The screw-off cap just makes it easier to access this tasty Zin.
Mixed berry aromas featuring raspberry and blueberry, coffee, chocolate, fresh tobacco and penicil shavings, pretty floral undertones and spice. The palate has more fresh summer berries, cola 'allspice' flavours, vanilla, chocolate and coffee with leathery hints, bright acidity and integrated tannins.
It'll go down as quickly as the cap comes off - and all this from 35-80 year old vines!

Aromas are of rhubarb and tart red fruit, spices and savoury/earthy notes with coffee bean, vanilla, tobacco and dark cocoa. On the palate it's juicy, medium-bodied with roasted coffee beans, creamy berries, spice and hints of char.
A simple, screw capped and affordable Zin.

Rich, smoky aromas-ripe black cherries and plums, an abundance of dark earth with warm spice and tarry/iodine notes. Smooth and hearty with fresh berries, pepper, vanilla, char and wood shavings finishing with hints of cherry liqueur.
Very good value - and one of only a handful of Argentinian wines not from Mendoza on BC shelves.

Make sure you buy more than one bottle, because if you are sharing, this one will soon be empty.
Fragrant - sun warmed berries and pretty violet aromas, cedar shavings and chocolate with sweet spices. Bright fruit on the palate - young and fresh with savoury earthy and smoky flavours. A delicious wine that's medium-full bodied with great acidity, integrated tannins and soft spices lingering on the finish.

Aromas of raspberries and chocolate with mint, blueberries, a hint of black plum (sound like a show you want to see?) and a pinch of fleur de sel. Part of Rebel Wine Company's California portfolio-of-fun, this wine is nothing if not seriously delish. Rich on the palate wiht sweet black fruit, chai tea spices, coffee, vanilla and chocolate.
Rich, supple and tasty as heck!
