Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Aromas of dusty citrus, pear, cilantro and spice meet similar flavors on the palate, plus a bit of green apple. Finishes with herbs, pepper and citrus. This is well-balanced and very fresh. —K.F.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The edgy, attention-getting note of funky earth holds on through shades of cherry, cocoa and white pepper. The well-balanced acids and tannins make the fruit attractive.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This red blend shows its 51% Cabernet roots with strong red cherry and ripe plum fruit. Throughout, the notes of vanilla, cinnamon toast, and cream vie for attention over the likeable fruit. The snug, particulate tannins and alcohol heat make for a mouthfilling experience.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a very lovely choice for an evening in with its sweet plum, pepper and blackberry flavors couched in smooth, powdery tannins. A thin vein of eucalyptus and a bit of acidity complements the peppercorn finish. This is sure to please each time it is uncorked.

de Trafford Shiraz - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wood-aged style that works, and works well. Balanced with its touch of spice and some vanilla flavors from the American wood, there is fresh fruit, delicious acidity and flavors of apples. De Trafford is a top quality, small-scale producer, high up in the mountains above Stellenbosch. Imported by Boutique Wine Collection.

de Trafford Chenin Blanc - 2004

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is a seamless mélange of apricot nectar, honey, dried pineapple, golden raisin and orange zest. It is a sweet, fruity, not-too-viscous wine made, per the label, “from naturally dried grapes.” Well balanced throughout, and not too deep.
