Staff Pick Notes

Passion by Punks was originally named "Passion has red lips!" They started about sixteen years ago. After some up and downs, they regained energy and created this vibrant blend made with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Shiraz. The two grapes come from two different areas in order to get the best benefits form the different terroirs. After staying seven days on skin, most of the wine is aged in stainless still while a smaller part goes in barriques. Including the front label, this is such a fun wine: black fruits and spices are well supported by a nice tannic structure. A touch of leather and some herbal notes complete the experience!

The climate of South Australia’s McLaren Vale district is heavily influenced by the ocean; wines here typically show savory notes of olive and spice on the nose and deep berry flavors on the palate....

McLaren Vale

While the Barossa is the heart of the Australian wine industry and home to many of the big players, one has only to spend an hour traveling to the South Australia's McLaren Vale to find the home of some of the smaller players on the scene. With a microclimate heavily influenced by its proximity to the ocean and varied soils rich in iron or limestone, McLaren Vale Shiraz tends to exhibit more savory notes on the nose, adding olives and spice notes to its dark berry fruits (which take on...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...
