Baked red apple, orange supremes and honeydew all abound in the bouquet and mouth of this easy-drinking Chard. A touch of honey lingers on the medium length finish. With 19,000 cases imported, this should be an easy to find value priced wine.

There’s a nice brambly character to this wine, with assertive savory herbs and fresh mint sprigs jazzing up the ripe berry-fruit core. Medium weight with a softly creamy texture and a vanilla-infused finish.

Berry, red cherry and pepper start this lively rose from South Africa. Easydrinking and buoyant with a touch of Pinotage spice, the wine will pair well with heartier fish and meat dishes.

Balanced and refined, this is a great value Cab that shows nice roundness to the spicy tobacco, bramble and cassis flavors. Dusty tannins linger softly through the finish, where a faint leathery accent adds intrigue. Readily available with 14,000 cases imported.

A bit reduced and sweet with notes of balsamic glaze and stewed red berries drizzled in chocolate syrup overpowering the glimmers of raw tobacco and cured sausage. Soft tannins and a short finish; drink now.

Intense and ripe in the nose and mouth with notes of passion fruit, mushy peach and mango acidity. The mouth is medium weight and a bit flabby, needing a bigger lift and vibrancy from the acidity than what’s offered.
