Peacock Ridge 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)

  1. $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.  — M.D.  (9/1/2006)

Peacock Ridge 2005 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — M.D.  (11/1/2006)

Peacock Ridge 2005 Merlot (Stellenbosch)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — M.D.  (11/1/2006)
