Cabernet Sauvignon |
| The king of red wines, this is most recognizable and versatile of red varieties
Cabernet always shows great character, the underlying style is cassis fruit interwoven with
spice, sometimes herbaceous, sometimes mocha or coffee beans but always a generous helping
of tannin for added structure. Just add beef or venison. |

| Merlot |
Merlot is the “Juliet” to Cabernet Sauvignon’s “Romeo.” The feminine lines deliver plum and mulberry fruit, often with a delicious helping of chocolate, if not chocolate it leans more to the herbaceous, mineral style but still supported by those delicious red fruits.
Perfectly suited to meats of the “feathered” variety |

|
| Shiraz |
Shiraz alias Syrah, the wine for wine lovers. Its inherent spiciness is surrounded by a combination
of red and black summer berries, then laced with seductive smoky tones and touches of leather,
often with that subtle hint of “garrigue” as the French would say, but we prefer “fynbos.”
Excellent with lamb. |
