WINE REVIEW

Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2006

"The 2006 Estate Chardonnay is sourced from ten estate parcels with a little fruit sourced from identical parcels every year. It has a lovely, Burgundian nose – very minerally with touches of limestone and not a million miles away from a Meursault. The palate is beautifully balanced with that minerally component coming through with touches of limestone and white peach on the aftertaste." The Wine Advocate 90 points

La Noble Merlot (2005)

Red wine - Merlot

La Noble Merlot (2005)

Description:

Languedoc (France) is a vast region, sometimes referred to as the "wine lake" of Europe. What makes La Noble Merlot special is the careful selection of vineyards and grapes that go into the wine. It is based on the wines of Domaine La Noble located west of Carcassonne in the village of Pennautier.

If you’re used to the extremely fruity, soft, alcoholic style of many New World Merlots, you’ll discover in La Noble Merlot a wine that has a greater sense of terroir.

If you’re not afraid of a wine with character, than this wine is for you. It’s meant to be enjoyed over a casual meal with friends, the conversation focusing on life and companions instead of the wine in your glass.

A wine that has a lot to offer in the bouquet for a simple country wine. Aromas of ripe plums with notes of spice and green pepper in the background. A mouthful of dense fruit on the palate with a solid backbone of firm tannins leading to a smooth finish.
