I’ve been very slow letting you know the February and March Limited Editions are in the store – I’ll actually be bottling my South African Cabernet Sauvignon this week, and both Rod and I are excited about this wine! It’s lush, full-bodied, with densely layered tannins that will dominate for the first six months, overshadowing the blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. After this the herbal/mint character will begin to emerge, and evolve into a deeply complex red wine, with dark cherry and cedar notes. With a year or more of ageing, the peppery character of the grapes will emerge, counterpointing the concentration and power of the wine. It will continute to improve for three years or more. This is the blockbuster red of the Limited Editions.
The Alsatian Riesling is going to be one of the most food friendly wines in your cellar. It’s crisp and dry, medium bodied, with aromas of white fruits, juicy apple and the perfume of May blossoms. (Do you think spring and summer will every arrive? This wine gives you hope.) The Alsatian Riesling will be crisply fresh and bright when young, and develop more of its floral/mineral aromas after six months, and after a year will begin to show honey and citrus notes, and continue to deepen in flavour two years or more – if you can wait that long!
We were able to get a few more Limited Editions….call today to reserve yours!
