Peacock Ridge 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)
- $19
Nail polish aromas blow off to reveal white fruit, but in the mouth there is no missing the depth of gooseberry and pineapple flavors that abound. Mild acids are a sign of the ripeness of this wine, as is the alcohol (14.5%). Finishes with crisp minerality and a touch of heat.

Peacock Ridge 2005 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Sweet yellow fruit flavor is plentiful if simple; oak, as usual, adds a touch of flavor and spice through the finish. This is a fine wine for buttery lobster, as its fresh fruit nose and big, sweet body can stand up to butter, and its low acid won’t interfere. Imported by Boutinot Wine Estates.

Peacock Ridge 2005 Merlot (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A meaty, spicy nose offers plum and cassis along with prune and brown raisin, leading to a palate ripe with more of the same flavors. Lean and dry, with dusty tannins. Leathery notes develop, then follow through to the finish. Imported by Boutinot.
