Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Impressive for its balance of soft, creamy richness with bright, juicy raspberries. Notes of brown sugar, cinnamon and espresso add a layer of decadence surprising at this price.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Restrained aromatically, with a slight minerally-graphite note, this is a pleasantly stony wine, perhaps a bit austere. It's medium bodied, ending with a touch of grapefruit pith.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is very pale in color, but the aromas are anything but understated, zooming out in full floral, orangy Muscat character. It’s soft and sweet, balanced a bit by citrusy acids on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sparkling Shiraz is an acquired taste, but this is a good introduction to the genre. Simply put, it’s a big, oaky Shiraz with bubbles, bursting with vanilla, blackberry, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. Enjoy it over the next few years for its youthful exuberance.

Chocolate Box Shiraz - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This boasts some rather prominent herbal (dill, perhaps?) notes, but this is an otherwise creamy-textured, soft Cabernet meant for immediate consumption. Vanilla and black cherry notes start upfront and persist through the slightly warm finish.

Chocolate Box Cabernet Sauvignon - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Comprised of nearly equal parts Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, this is an easygoing, creamy-textured wine with lifted aromas of cherries and clove and juicy, peppery flavors that finish with just the barest touch of astringency. Drink now.
