Sun and Air Cinsault Sun and Air Cinsault $13.00

One of the parents of Pinotage but not showing the wicked funk that Pinotage can often bring. Definitely earthy, with some smoked beet on the nose and brambly cooked raspberry Serve with a light chill and it goes great with Asian or spicy Mexican fare. Softens with a little air as well. Just a fun little wine at a great price.


Babylonstoren Babylonstoren $21.00

A beautiful expression of Shiraz from the equally beautiful area of South Africa. Among the vast, sprawling, organic gardens of the property lies vinyards where this Shiraz originates. Showing robust black berries, meaty, savory bacon fat, violets and pepper. Soft on the palate and just enough acid to pull it together.


Luddite Saboteur Luddite Saboteur $29.00

Shiraz dominant with Mouvedre and Cab Sav adding a little umph to the blend. Eucalyptus, sweet jalapeno peppery note and black fruits. Big body and plenty of structure. Have a glass ready with your next roast or ribeye!

    A slightly different and wonderful lighter take on Priorat. The gorgeous blue slate show immediately on the nose, Carignan is there but with richness and elegance. Really pretty and an homage to the fruit. Gorgeous leather and blue black fruit flavors with spice and soft leather. Organic, hand picked and just 9 months in French, this really is a lovely wine!
