Fruity aromas and complexity highlight nuances of ripe apple. On the palate, a distinct sweet character gives an intense, pleasurable sensation with a balanced and rounded structural finish. Available at Bin 66 and Cafe Azafran in Lewes and Rehoboth.

It is a wine with exceptional fruit intensity and structure. Warm aromas of Granny Smith apples, lemon meringue pie and spicy cinnamon and vanilla. Flavors are baked apple pie, lemon and orange zest. Full bodied with firm acidity and a long finish.
This is a baby Rombauer at almost half the price!

Dark, ripe and focused, with mulled black currant and plum sauce notes laced with baker's chocolate and graphite hints. Displays a nicely fleshy finish.

"A blend of 73% Shiraz, 15% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, Tait’s 2009 The Ball Buster provides a deep garnet color and aromas of blackberry preserves, prunes, mulberries and dried leaves with nuances of Indian spices and dusty earth. Full bodied and rich in the mouth, it has a high level of acid providing freshness to the generous fruit and a medium-firm level of grainy tannins, finish long with lingering notes of anise. Drinking now, it should remain good to 2015+."

This fine Pinot Noir exhibits black cherry, boysenberry, red fruit and light spice notes that are finished with soft round elegant tannins. This unique blend of multiple clones has enabled us to create a classic Pinot Noir with elegant varietal flavors. This limited production wine shows great depth of character and charm.

Appealing for its ripeness and fleshy body, this offers peach and citrus flavors that have a pungent grassy kick and tangy acidity. Spice, floral and mineral details fill in on the finish.

La Chapelle Picpoul de Pinet
|
|
|
This little white from the south of France is dry, clean and fresh with yellow peach and lemony citrus in the nose and mouth. The 'Picpoul de Pinet' varietal is used to make light white wines and Armagnac. The grapes for this excellent Picpoul are harvested on the slopes of the Languedoc facing the Mediterranean, and the sunny climate of the region gives the grapes wonderful ripeness. Unoaked to keep the wine fresh, this is a great white for serving with seafood, or as a crisp, refreshing aperitif.

Crimson n Clover Red

Crimson & Clover is the perfect example of the delicious results that can occur when you combine different varietals, in this case primarily Petite Sirah, Cabernet, Syrah and Zinfandel.
Extremely well balanced with low tanins this wine can be drunk with many types of dishes or by itself.
Tom & Tom Highly Recommend!

Bright red. Smoky cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by candied licorice, dark chocolate and zesty minerality. At once silky and lively, with impressively complex cherry and dark berry flavors joined by an exotic floral pastille quality on the finish. This boasts remarkable focus and persistence for the price."

This Merlot is a dark garnet color, with aromas of vanilla, boysenberry pie, and notes of toasted hazelnuts. Flavors of sweet blueberries, plums, black olives, and subtle foregano finish with notes of rich toasted oak.

Inca Pinot Noir is a deliciously red fruit, medium bodied red wine, with lingering smoky cherry flavors. Ideal with white meat, raw fish or any style of carpaccio.

The 2008 Pinot Noir Thea’s Selection exhibits a slightly roasted character along with notes of cedar, underbrush, clove, and black cherry. On the palate it has excellent grip, considerable density, savory flavors, and a forward personality. Although it has the ability to evolve for 1-2 years, it can be approached now and over the next 6-8 years.

Very dark reddish-purple, with a clear garnet edge. Red-berry fruit, something like cranberries (only half-joking, perhaps a candidate for the Thanksgiving table), backed by subtle earthy, woody notes that stay well beneath the fruit. Tart cranberry flavors well shaped by zippy acidity, a good food wine with a variety of meat and poultry courses

Old Vine Zinfandel
|
|
According to the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "24% Petite Sirah. The rather pushy form of Petite Sirah shows in this wine, and it helps separate its blocky, spicy, dried blackberry character from most other inexpensive Zinfandels. This wine has both body and evident tannin to go with its noticeably ripe and rustic personality, and whereas wines at this price tend towards easy simplicity, this one is raring to take on heavier dishes.

The final blend offers ripe fruit, currants, blackberries and vanilla. The palate is ripe, layered and warm with gentle tannins and soft acids. Approachable and generous, it will match well with steaks, stews, pork, lamb, plank salmon, BBQ and cheeses.
