FEATURED WINES
2009 MAN VINTNERS COASTAL SOUTH AFRICA CHENIN BLANC OUR PRICE $8.99
Chenin Blanc, 100% free-run juice
Tropical fruit, guava and melon aromas, crisp and bold citrus backed by refreshing acidity and minerality characteristic of our coastal vineyards. A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled.
"This lively South African white’s citrus-and-melon flavors and perky acidity make it adaptable to the wide range of foods." Best Big Party Wine - Food & Wine Magazine
"Dry and very juicy with bright acidity and tangy fruit; long, fresh and balanced with lots of nerve." 89 Points - Anthony Dias Blue Reviews
2007 MAN VINTNERS COASTAL SOUTH AFRICA SHIRAZ OUR PRICE $8.99
Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%
Aromas of ripe plum and spices, mouth-filling sweet red-berry flavors and gentle tannins characterize this wine. A touch of Viognier was co-fermented with the Shiraz for the aromatic lift it gives to the wine, which emphasizes the berry fruit and spice aromas on the nose. The American oak barrels give a hint of vanilla spice on the nose and contribute to the smooth silky tannins.
"A luscious, savory character is the backbone of this Shiraz– spicy red fruit and a touch of vanilla oak on the nose lead it. The flavors of balsamic vinegar, black pepper and plum add to the sexy style of the wine." BEST BUY, 89 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine
2009 PORCUPINE RIDGE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE SOUTH AFRICA SAUVIGNON BLANC OUR PRICE $9.99
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Gooseberry and tropical fruit flavors dominate with a moderate mid-palate weight. Firm fresh acidity and a bone-dry finish.
"Stellar example of southern hemisphere (think New Zealand) SB, with lime and grapefruit. This version might be a tad on the sweet side, but the acid is high enough to allow it to work with Hunanese food.." EXCEPTIONAL, Dan Berger's Vintage Experience
2009 PORCUPINE RIDGE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE SOUTH AFRICA CABERNET SAUVIGNON OUR PRICE $9.99
A medium-bodied wine with aromas of dark fruit and plum. Lingering palate of dry tannins with well integrated wood and a smooth finish. Brand new vintage to arrive in the states. Consistently rated in the high 80's by all of the major publications. We find this to be a wonderful BBQ wine and great VALUE!
