A heavy charcuterie silver platter is served with baked honey ham, cured Spanish jamon, blood red chorizo, and smoked maple bacon. Hints of cinnamon, sweet paprika, basil leaf, gunpowder pepper, and cloves simmer on moist tobacco coloring zesty notes of ruby grapefruit, mandarin orange peel, soft kiwi hair, and peach fuzzed suede ~ buttered leather and flint coos as baby's breath on your nose.
Sandalwood and cedar patina the long legs of this elegant Blue Crane of a wine as it slowly grazes the river waters of the Indian Ocean. Nursed and balanced by the terroir of South African trade winds this purple warrior has flawless camouflage. Formal enough to serve the Master of War yet humble enough to grace the tongue of seraphim. The glass illuminates a select spectrum of mollusk purples and violets that have to be seen with the naked eye alone. Sublime in deed and grape.

The best Pinotage on the planet by a mile! Try some with some age and you'll recognize the Burgundian Cotes de Nuits character. While this youngster is all tar, flowers and fruit it will age gracefully for 3 decades easily.

A great example of how this underappreciated grape can be made into an excellent wine. This wine is smoky meaty with black fruits, oak spice and a savory, earthy finish.
