2007 L'Ecole Nº 41 Columbia Valley Semillon - Washington

Remarkably brilliant with rich fruit and balanced acidity, this wine shows fragrant citrus blossom, tangerine and floral aromas, with melon, fresh apple, pear, lychee nut and key-lime flavors on a honeysuckle mineral-rich finish.

Steely yellow-gold color with aromatics of lemon curd and chamomile. On the palate, the wine blossoms into flavors of golden peaches, vanilla custard and clover honey, finishing clean, crisp and fresh. A fine balance between the restrained alcohol, bright acidity and subtle natural sweetness of slow-ripened fruit.

2007 Zolo Torrontes - Argentina

This wine presents fullness in fruit with high notes and style from this noble grape; it finishes crisply, lingers for minutes in the mouth.

2005 Vina Falernia Carmenere Syrah - Chile

After aging in barrels and stainless steel the wines has been blended just 3 months before bottling. Bright and deep colour. The wine shows a good fruit concentration and on the nose black pepper, red fruit, dark chocolate. Great body with soft tannins on the palate.

2007 Lange Willamette Valley Pinot Noir – Oregon

This wine is approachable and fruit - forward upon release. It showcases a gregarious bouquet of cherry- cola, clove, and slate, with appealing plum, candied cherry, mixed berry and orange peel on the palate. With an expansive and broad mid-palate of complex fruit and refined tannins, this wine owns the requisite structure to be lively and vivacious.

2003 Beaucanon Trifecta – Napa Valley, California

A swirl of this deep garnet wine releases elegant aromas of spicy berries, leather and sweet alcohol. The palate is bright with youthful acidity, highlighting flavors of blackberry, black cherry, cocoa with a generous amount of toasted coconut contributed by the American and French oak. Tannins are grippy and the finish is amazing.
