Osborns Cabernet Merlot has been one of the more impressive versions of this blend to come from the Peninsula in recent years. It always seems to have a lovely silky texture and suits complex wine making skills that go into making this wonderful wine. The wines continue to be made by Richard Macintyre at the nearby Moorooduc Estate and are sensational value for money! I really recommend you make a stand here and order up big!

Known as the cool climate specialsts this district produces some astonishingly great value , intensely varietal gems from the cool Delatite region . Picked over the month of April...so late! The beautiful nose shows strong fruit characters of ripe blood plums, blackberry and sweet redcurrants, together with some spice.
Matured in three-year old French oak hogsheads for 11 months, this supple wine has fine lingering tannins and nice structure. Enjoy it now or cellar up to 2010

The release of this Bordeaux Blend -'Meritage' is a stunner!A very bold rich, brick red colour with purple hues, the nose has delightful lifted blackberry and cassis. Just like Bordeaux, since it's made with the same grapes!! There's a rich, full aroma to it. Depending on the particular blend, it can be blackberry, black cherry, spices, chocolate, and vanilla. Most Meritages have the Bordeaux signature flavors - cigar box, rich fruits, with a hefty feel.
It has to be a "high-end" wine for the winery - & it has to be a blend of certain grapes. These are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot.
It's back! This is a terrific wine and one which will sell out quicker than you'll enjoy your next public Holiday this year.If I am asked for nearly one wine most often it is this baby
Displaying all the hallmarks that we have come to expect from this "here today - gone tomorrow" regular from our friends at Pertaringa, with a new twist. A dash (only 7%) of Petit Verdot. Madness? No... Brilliance! Produced by Ian Leask and Geoff Hardy, this is McLaren Vale Cabernet at it's finest. This tasty number has a deep, almost crimson purple colour. Aromas of fragrant blackcurrant fruit, mulberry, cedary cinnamon spice, and barrel ferment are eminent on the nose. Mulberry flavours are also present on the palate, with some cassis, blueberry and sweet rhubarb followed by firm but fine grained tannins. What are you waiting for?
