USA

Castle Rock Pinot Noir was produced from grapes grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Sheltered by the Cascade Mountains, this area is on the same latitude as France’s Burgundy region, and in the past thirty years it has gained international recognition as one of the most prestigious appellation for this cool-climate varietal. This elegant medium-bodied wine offers aromas of cherry and spice. On the palate the wine gives flavors of berries, cinnamon, black cherry, sweet vanilla, oak, and floral notes, with a long velvety finish. This versatile wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes.





Australia

A terrific buy from Australia , the 2004 Juveniles is a tank-fermented and aged blend of Grenache (60%), Shiraz (20%), and Mataro (20%) made from 40-150-year old vines. Provencal-like notes of garrigue, pepper, spice, sweet cherries, and black currants jump from the glass of this elegant, medium-bodied effort. With superb fruit as well as purity, and no hard edges, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-4 years.

South African Wines

These wine selections are the result of extensive research and numerous visits to the producers in South Africa and we believe these are some of the best wines South Africa has to offer. We source these wines directly from the wineries and can offer all our wines at outstanding prices. Their catalog has wines from several different price points. The Maankloof line is entry level wines. They are "entry level" in pricing, but not in quality. Mountain River wines are midpriced and our selections showcase the diversity of varietals available to South African winemakers.
