ALTA VISTA |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, slightly smoky, spicy, baked ripe plum puree nose with some slightly herbal notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, juicy, crisp, spicy, plum puree flavours with a lingering, slightly leathery finish. Better than the 2007 (*+) released on October 24, 2009 at $14.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This wine knocked the socks off our tasting panel. Deep ruby-purple in colour, it sports aromas of dark cassis, vanilla, new leather and cedar. Its dry, full bodied with ripe cassis, mocha, leather, mint and vanilla flavours. Its plush texture is balanced by focused acidity and supple tannins. It blows most Cabs at this price tag out of the water. Spicy grilled sausages or juicy steaks would pair perfectly. (Vintages panel, May 2011) |
