This ruby-red wine has a lot to offer. It offers vanilla, spice, Maraschino cherry and cola in the nose, while the palate is packed with more cherry, vanilla, a mild minerality and some lemon notes. It finishes smooth, with coffee and spice. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

On the nose, plum and juicy berry are joined by cocoa powder and vanilla. With ir, grilled meat aromas emerge. The palate starts out a bit sweet with vanilla, but quickly picks up fruit, spice and charred meat notes. All this in a package that is soft without being simple. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

A light, sophisticated nose of white flowers and citrus is followed by balanced fresh fruit and acid. The wine has a light touch but impresses with its elegant overall character. Pair with grilled fish or salads. A wine with poise and class.

This robust SB starts with a nose of cut grass and gooseberry, followed by a complex, spicy array of tropical fruit and spice. Weighty but balanced, the wine will pair well with more complex seafood dishes: think halibut or tuna.

This wine has a vegetal character, but tropical fruit flavors are just as dominant. Intense flavors and aromas, lively acidity and a warm finish make this an ideal match for oily foods. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

Pungent, grassy aromas herald Sauvignon Blanc, which makes up 60% of this blend. There’s also good intensity in the mouth, with Chenin adding flavors of almond, as well as high acidity and a grassy bite, and the 19% Chardonnay possibly responsible for tropical fruit notes. Finishes clean, with a hint of oak.
