Jardin 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
This is a seriously impressive wine. Its black currant fruit, rich smoky flavors and soft tannins come straight out of the glass. But it is very young, needing three years for aging to show its prune, black plum and herbal character blending well with the great layers of y showing some wood. Imported by Vinnovative Imports.

Jardin 1998 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

Exuding style and power, this Chardonnay shows complexity with great depth—and breadth—of aromas and flavors. Tropical fruit, citrus, butterscotch, toasted oak and spice are beautifully melded together to achieve a harmonious whole. Near-perfect fruit/acid balance, a supple mouthfeel, and a superlong finish displaying orange and toast notes wrap it up.
