"Delicate and lively, with floral cherry and vanilla aromas and nicely layered, crisp citrus, cinnamon and cream flavors."

"Nose: Remarkably fresh 'sea air ' aroma. Body: Light to medium, firm. Palate: Gentle, clean, nutty-malty sweetness. Finish: Very full flavour development. A refreshing quality."

Deep golden amber color. Bright aromas of caramelized pear and honey buttered biscuit follow through on silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with excellent depth, vibrancy and balance. Finishes with long, resonant peppery and baking spice, creme caramel and mineral flourishes. Sensationally smooth and flavorful

"The 2010 Thomas Hyland Shiraz displays a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of ripe blackberry and cherry preserves plus hints of bacon, pepper, tree bark and cedar. Concentrated and taut on the medium-bodied palate, it has crisp acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long."

"This could very well be the best black IPA on our shelves. Somehow it seems to perfectly harness everything we love about a good porter like flavors of chocolate and brown sugar, with hop aromas and flavors still balancing wonderfully due to the addition of Columbus, Amarillo, Simcoe, & Cascade hops. Despite what the name tells you, this beer will make you happy."

"The initial aroma is of black pepper and steamed broccoli. Following aeration, a bouquet of succulent scents of Brazil nuts, egg cream and light oak resin appear. An oily flavor of bacon is apparent at palate entry; at midpalate the pepper returns with added tastes of spinach, sage and butter. Finishes elegantly yet zestily as the pepper comes to the fore. Best Buy." 90-95 pts.

"Pale sunshine yellow color with fresh ?oral, citrus and melon aromas with hints of almonds. An unoaked, dry, medium bodied white wine with crisp acidity, the Arneis is well-balanced, elegant wine with good complexity and a lingering ?nish."
