Hugely floral, violets fly up from the glass, followed by black fruits and graphite. Black fruits and violets lead on the palate, followed by the same pencil lead and grippy tannins. Red currants show on the mid-palate, a bright acidic lift that brings the violets back into focus. Drink with

We highly recommend this lamb lover's Cabernet. The nose shows plum and mulberry. The palate shows blackcurrant, black cherries, and eucalyptus, wrapped in a thick warm sweater of dusty tannins.

What a fun wine. The nose shows Jolly Rancher watermelon candy and fresh apples, with a background of steel. Candied apples, baked pears, and white pepper all come through on the palate. Watermelon comes back on the finish. It has a good acid backbone from which to hang all the

This is a floral treat from John Duval, the former Chief Winemaker at Penfolds. A bowl of aromatic white flowers blow up from the glass, followed by poached pear. The palate is just as floral. Magnolias and citrus blossoms, with poached pears, make up the initial flavors on the palate.
