"The 2011 Stiling Chardonnay is a wonderful blend of floral, citrus, apple and mineral components wrapped into one. Lemon, tangerine and apple flavors combined with hints of Muscat are layered with an intriguing mineral element. Toasty French oak pairs nicely with the fruit, adding a creaminess that rounds out the middle palate and carries the flavors into a supple finish."

"Begins with inviting aromas of raspberry puree and fresh oatmeal cookies. The entry offers an intriguing hint of smoke and peppercorns that carry though to a mid-palate filled with silky tannins and cherry and raspberry flavors. On the finish, oak-inspired overtones of coffee and baking spice mingle with leather and fruit bringing this wine to a long, satisfying conclusion."

"In this blend of select aged rums, each of the constituent rums is at least 15 years old. Some are much older. To achieve the superb colour, smooth taste and full fragant aroma, the rums are matured in 45 gallon oak casks in an ideal natural climate for ageing - within six degrees of the equator on the tropical north coast of South America."

"Remarkable freshness and vibrant purity of fruit - tropical, lively citrus, fresh pear and honeydew melon - lifted by bouyant natural acidity. Well-integrated oak supports the assemblage of fruity flavors from the vineyard with hints of roasted hazelnut, creme brulee and smoke followed by a long, creamy finish."
