Borsao Tinto

“A delicious wine and very much the model for value in Spanish Garnacha. That this has 25% Tempranillo only seems to make it better; the nose is sweet but full and plummy. The palate is pure, flavorful and sweet, with baked cherry, earthiness and a hint of chocolate. A wine to buy in quantity, i.e. by the case.”

Wine Enthusiast

It has an ultra fragrant nose, filled with spicy aromas of freshly cracked black pepper and clove, dried figs, warm oak, and just a hint of black olives. And oh what a mouthful…dried cherries, cassis, and oak dominate the palate. Its got a pleasant bite to it, and notes of cinnamon and dark cocoa that sweep you away to its bone dry charred oak finish.

Bogle Petit Syrah

Thirty-two years after it was first produced by the Bogle family in 1978, Petite Sirah is today considered Bogle’s “heritage” varietal. Once again the trademark qualities shine through in a wine that is the perfect integration of fruit and oak.

Voluptuous and full-bodied on the entry, the heady aromas of black currants and plums awaken the senses. Lusciously jammy and inky in appearance, the concentrated fruit wraps itself around tones of pipe tobacco, leather and cocoa, to mesmerize the palate. Juniper and spice seduce the supple tannins, as this wine finishes long and lingering, but not before a final touch of acidity charms the balanced mouthfeel yet again.

Peccatore Douro Red

Literal translation of Peccatore is Italian for “Sinner.” A blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca. Aged in french oak for nine months resulting in a wine that’s fruity, elegant, and easy to drink and well structured. This wine combines tradition with modernism integrated in wonderful balance.

Peccatore means “The Sinner”, neatly encapsulated by the voyeuristic label. A lovely wine made in a lighter style from a Douro company best known for its Port. Super blend of three indigenous grapes: 60% Touriga Franca, 25% Tinta Roriz (the Douro name for Tempranillo) and 15% Tinta Barroca. Modern maturation - 25% French oak, the rest fermented in stainless steel. Cherry red, light and bright. Lifted nose shows a loose-tea quality. Very well balanced, medium bodied with ripe sweet red berry and a trace of blackcurrant, then a long cake-spice finish with a hint of cinnamon.
