Wally’s Hut
Cabernet Merlot
South East Australia. 2003

Blackberry aromas from the Cabernet Sauvignon team up with ripe flavors from the Merlot, creating just the perfect blend of fruit with a hint of spice. The palate continues with a rich full-flavored complexity. Perfect with hearty meat stews, savory seafood and aged cheeses.

Monkey Bay
Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough. New Zealand. 2006

Pale lemon in colour, with green hues and brilliant clarity. A vibrant bouquet of citrus and tropical fruits, with hints of cut grass and capsicum. A wine of charm, elegance and style, the palate has excellent weight and mouthfeel. Showing concentrated tropical fruit flavours of grapefruit, lemon and pineapple, with layers of muted herbal characters.

Yellow Tail
Merlot
South East Australia. 2007

A rich colour and deep hue introduces your nose to a ripe and rich flavour. Mint and leaf at the front of the nose is followed by soft plums and ripe almost Christmas cake fruit. The vanilla softness on the nose takes you into a ripe and full palate weight with a soft, sweet oak palate length on the finish.

The Little Penguin
Shiraz
South East Australia. 2003

Hold this hefty red to the light and marvel at the dense, bright magenta hues. Savor the splashes of chocolate, spice and juicy strawberries on the nose. The flavor has equally impressive dark sweet fruit, closing with an impressive length. This Australian Shiraz wine holds its own with hard cheeses and anything on the barbie, from red meats to blackened fish.

Bodega Septima
Cabernet Sauvignon
Argentina. 2005

Very complex and spicy. Notes of roasted pepper, plums in Armagnac and fruit jam with minerals such as graphite are perceived in its bouquet. Roasted, coffee and vanilla aromas. Good entrance in the mouth, round with red fruit, including sour cherry and strawberry, strong and sweet tannins. Smoked oak wood aftertaste. Good permanence in the mouth, well structured and with a pleasant finish.

Dashwood
Pinot Noir
Marlborough. New Zealand. 2005

Awatere Valley is an idyllic Marlborough location, where Dashwood's winemakers pioneered what is now one of New Zealand's most famous wine making precincts. Those who like mellow, cherry flavours will enjoy the undertones of berry fruits and appreciate this wine's easygoing nature. The 2005's smooth character accompanies food perfectly.
