Wine Advocate The Cabernet and Shiraz blends begin with the 2006 Shiraz (70%) – Cabernet Sauvignon (22%) “Koonunga Hill”. Purple-colored, the wine offers meaty black currant, blackberry, and blueberry aromas. On the palate the wine exhibits remarkable focus and structure for its humble price. The fruit is grapy and primary as well as intensely flavored. It should evolve for several years and drink well through 2022 if not longer. It is a fantastic value. As an aside, Peter Gago presented a 1976 Koonunga Hill to demonstrate the aging potential of this cuvee. The wine was showing a bit of age aromatically but none on the palate. Score: 91. —Jay Miller, October 2007.

Treana Red is a Proprietary blend of predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Barrel aged 14 months in French oak, 40% of which is new; this wine shows deep plum color with excellent clarity. The wine is full-bodied, with an abundance of deep, briary, wild black fruits, anise, and leather aromas. The finish is long and warm with undertones of fruit and spice.

The 2006 Treana White displays the elegant varietal characteristics of Viognier and Marsanne; vibrant floral aromas of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and jasmine are followed by ripe stone fruit flavors with hints of pear, pineapple, and citrus and honey overtones.

With an intense violet color, the wine shows characteristic aromas and palate flavors of spice, black tea and tobacco which broaden out to become rich blackberries and sweet spices, helped by oak aging. The wine has a fresh fruit character, along with considerable structure, fine, sweet tannins that impart a soft texture and a long finish.

Louis Latour French Pinot Noir expresses notes of red fruit with earthy undertones. The wine has a crispy acidity well-balanced by dry tannins.

 

Sidwise 100% Pinot Noir has traces of stone fruits, cherry, and is described as earthy. 

This wine is massive in every sense. From the explosively fruity bouquet dominated by blackberry with undertones of spice, old leather, mineral and black olive to the concentrated spicy raspberry fruit backed by dense and chewy yet silky and smooth tannins on the palate.

This is a simple but delicious Sauvignon Blanc. Light taste is perfect for salads and light pasta dishes.

 

 

Maramonte Syrage consists of the the king of grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Sonoma County,added structure, finesse and backbone with the royalty of Bordeaux origins. Concentration of raspberry, cherry and violets.

A lovely Pinot Noir that’s also an incredible value, this Argentinean red is 100% Pinot Noir from the cool mountain valleys of Salta in the north. These are the highest vineyards in the world with an altitude of 6,000 feet above sea level. The long cool growing season of these mountain vineyards allows Pinot Noir to develop ripe, black cherry, raspberry flavors but still maintain its bright, lively acidity.
