Ripe and sweet smelling with aromas of vanilla custard and soft buttercream among notes of red apple flesh. Orange oil flavors cut through the heft of the round mouth, with a medium-length finish.

Smooth and soft, this wine has a touch of vanilla and apples and cream flavors. At the back, a freshness of acidity stops it being too rich or fat. It is well-made, well balanced and slips down easily

There is lightweight, fresh fruit, flavors of crisp apples and grapefruit, along with a refreshing touch of acidity. The only downside is that it seems unfocussed in its fruit flavors

It’s hard to find any noticeable fruit on the nose, and there isn’t much more in the mouth, except for a smidgen of citrus and green apple. It finishes mild and short. ––M.S.

Black plum, liqueur and marzipan aromas make for an intriguing nose. On the palate, you will find tart cherry fruit mixed into a couple of layers. It needs food, but many wines do. On the plus side, the balance and acids are just about right. —M.S.

This mevushal Cab exhibits strong dark fruit flavors of cassis and black cherry with a touch of burnt coffee.

Lacking intensity, the nose exhibits mild notes of ripe red apple while the palate adds a touch of canteloupe. Fat and round with a fleeting finish, the wine never really makes a strong impression.

Light and fruity with cherry, plum and red currant flavors along with a subtle hint of menthol on the nose. The mouthfeel is smooth and supple. Mevushal.

Pale salmon pink, this is a light, easy wine. Faint melon and herb aromas lead to an off-dry palate with sour-cherry and anise flavors. Nothing complicated here, but good enough balance to be refreshing.

Fresh fruit gives this wine an immediate attraction. It is simple, clean and direct. The red fruit flavors are light, and would have benefited from more depth.
