Montes Carmenere Purple Angel
$134.99
One of Chile's top wines, and certainly, one of the best examples of Carménère on the market. (Some might even say it IS the best.) Carménère is an amazing grape that absolutely thrives in Chile. Originally from France but almost forgotten on its home turf, Carménère has been reinvented in Chile. This big boastful red starts out with aromas of sage, blueberry, and blackberry and toasty oak. According to Robert Parker, it borders on opulent. A full-throttle red, layered with succulent flavours, and a long, pure finish. A Purple Angel indeed!
Greywacke Pinot Noir
$68.99
The review: "Fresh and aromatic, with green matcha tea, sea salt, lavender and melon notes to complement the pure macerated raspberry and juicy cherry fruit and generous velvety tannins. Gains complexity and nuance on the long finish. Drink now through 2027." Greywacke is the Marlborough label of Kevin Judd, and the fulfillment of a long held dream. Kevin was head winemaker at Cloudy Bay for many years and responsible for putting Cloudy Bay on the world wine map. It is so named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones found in the soils of the vineyard. Well made, well priced!
