This Shiraz is popular but I have never really found it to be my wine. This wine is too tart, red delicious apple, raspberry, baked plum, and citrus and citrus peel.

A well priced strong Barossa Shiraz; seems like a no brainer but to get a Shiraz with spice and fruit can be difficult. I like Shiraz with pepper and especially enjoy eucalyptus coupled with coffee and chocolate. This Shiraz presents with the essential features of what I think makes a wondrous Shiraz. A good priced good quality Shiraz is a tall order there are not many of them but this is one.

Deep ink in coloration. This wine presents with lush mid-red fruit to Mexican chili peppers, slight basil and simmering spices. A lovely wine for rich beef, game or wild salmon dinner.

Don’t let the name fool you. Peppermint Paddock, as far as I understand, is the presence of Peppermint where these Chambourcin grow. Australians produce an abundance of red sparkling wines everything from Merlot to Cabernet Sauvignon to Chambourcin. This sparkling wine is deep jewel toned and presents unexpected components like chocolate powder to just crushed blackberry. This red sparkling is ideal not just for turkey but for a hot mid-summer dinner.

Mas Donis a Grenache and Syrah blend. This blend is aromatic and fragrant. But the bottle had a synth cork which disappointed me greatly. This bottle has the makings of a good bottle of wine but I knew the flavour profile would be hurt. The nose was wonderful but the taste would be over-powered by the synth cork. The synth cork took over the natural flavours that were present and masked them beyond the synthetic notes. Despite this masking there were boysenberry, leather, cedar and chocolate dust.

I love Pinot’s from New Zealand but that does not always like the vintage or producer. I expect a lot from Pinot’s regardless of where they are born. I always a knock my socks off Pinot. But this was not the love affair that I so dearly longed for–this wine had head from dusting of red peppers, some plum and a bit deprived on the medium red fruits, some leather and some underbrush.

Ferngrove Vineyards Estate Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon is a wine that has the best of both worlds and good for those who don’t like too much of one of this varietals profiles.
Approximately 70% Sauvignon Blanc /30% Semillon exhibits streamed minerals, white pepper, and sweet lime and orange peel.

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc exhibited fresh cut greens, allspice, apple pie and white nectarine. Good as a stand alone Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blancs are not always wines that need be served only with food; occasionally there are gorgeous wines like this that would make an excellent mid-summer wine as well as a wine to be served with just cooked crab.
K & L Wine Merchants – $17.99
