2078 | Wine, Less than $10

Bright and luminous to the eye, with orchard fruit and spice on the nose. Apples and vanilla on the palate, with citrus suggestions and minerals emerging in the finish. This is textbook Chardonnay that displays a surprisingly broad range of flavors, and is a diamond in the rough at this price point.

"Cassis, black forest fruits, eucalypt and hints of violets. The ultimate Cabernet fruit profile with concentrated mixed berries, mulberry, green herbs and a hint of pepper. A backdrop of oak supports the wine. Serve with pepper crusted scotch fillet, roast vegetables or slow cooked lamb shanks."

"Classic Merlot aromatics with mocha, dark plums and Christmas cake fruit spice. Soft, juicy Merlot with dark plums again with chocolaty tannins and a long, fleshy finish. Serve with charred meats. Yup, this is the ultimate BBQ wine. It’s great with sausages, steak and marinated chicken."

"Crushed red berries, sweet spice and cedary notes. Deep and dark in the palate, this Shiraz offers classic red berry fruit, Christmas cake spices, dried figs and a long, juicy finish. Serve with herb crusted leg of lamb, medium rare, and a handful of oven baked potato wedges."

"On top we've got Zinfandel, a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the relationship. Merlot, with its generous mouth feel and red fruits, fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal."

"Fresh flavours of peach, rockmelon and a hint of vanilla, this soft, juicy white is a perfect medium weighted wine for anytime drinking."

"A medium-bodied, fruity red that enjoys savory aromas of black cherries, raspberries, spice, and smoky oak. The core reveals layered flavors of red and black cherries, along with cranberries and a spicy note of cardamom from oak aging. Rich in texture with a lingering finish, this versatile wine is delicious on its own or paired with a juicy cheeseburger, grilled salmon."

"Fresh and light, with a hint of ginger accenting the grapefruit flavors at the core. The texture shows a delicate sparkle."

"Abundant amounts of red and black fruits intermixed with hints of tobacco leaf, earthy soil, pepper and spice. This supple-textured, delicious red is exactly what one expects of a very good Cotes du Rhone."-Robert Parker
