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

100% estate grown fruit from Walker Bay, South Africa. With a growing reputation for quality wines, this blend shows us exactly what South Africa is capable of. 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!

    Armas de Guerra Mencia

    An excellent introduction to Bierzo's native varietal, the palate is fresh, elegant, and clean. Energetic aromas of fresh blue fruits, violet and white pepper, plus a subtle touch of licorice. Supple and gently sweet on the palate, offering sappy boysenberry and floral highlights with a hint of smokiness.
