2010 Craggy Range Te Kahu BlendStill some tannins on the finish, all in balance with the dark, dried fruit flavors and hints of earth. Should age nicely for several more years. Pairs well with lamb, duck, and vegetarian moussaka. |

Winemaker's Notes
"Dark colour. Bold aromatics of black fruits. Boysenberry, blackberry and plum dominate the subtle varietal aromatics of fresh mint and thyme with some cinnamon showing from its time in oak. The palate is fresh and lively. Lovely fine tannins surround a ripe core of sweet fruit with good acidity providing balance and length. Food Match: Rich red meat dishes Cellaring: Up to 10 years from vintage" Technical Notes
"80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec. Aged 13 months in French oak, 28% new. 13.9% alc." |

2011 Susana Balbo Malbec $25.99 90 WS A terrific example of Malbec - deep rich color and flavors, a bit tannic, and dark berry fruits, an altogether powerful wine whose flavors really explode with food, especially anything off of the grill, especially if it is steak....did we mention this wine loves red meat? 24+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days. |
