Verdelho is a white grape originally from Portugal that produces a crisp wine. A satisfying nose of ripe pineapple. Crisp on the palate with a semi-round mouth-feel followed by well balanced flavors of pineapple, citrus, tropical and minerality with enough zippy acid to make it a good food pairing wine. It paired very well with our meal of boiled shrimp with 3 sauces.
Another delicious Chardonnay from Lava Cap. A rich nose of baked apple gives way on the palate to a round mouth-feel full of ripe red apple, ripe pineapple, died apricot, baking spices, Meyer lemon, and tropical flavors integrated with oaky vanilla and a light creme finish. Sit back and enjoy sip after sip.
A big Syrah from Patland Estate Vineyards. A robust nose of smokey cherry jam followed by flavors of cherry, plum, dark spice, tobacco box and mocha with well-integrated medium tannins and hints of smoke on the long finish.
A bit heavier than other MacPhail Wines offerings with rich and complex flavors of cherry, raspberry, plum, dark spice with hints of cola and oaky smoke. Supple tannins add and integrated backbone.
A nice nose of spicy cherry and notes of tobacco box. This Paul Dolan medium-bodied Cabernet made of 100% organically grown grapes offers flavors of dark rich cherry, dark spice, ripe plum, black pepper, cassis, dark spice and again, notes of tobacco box. Softer tannins make this Cab very approachable soon after opening.
