Talc on the nose, meaty and bacon-filled, intriguing. Smooth on the palate, medium tannins, acid and body. Odd. Earthy, big and slightly hot. Chocolate, Swiss Cake Rolls. Slightly medicinal. Definitely not a wine for everyone, but I really enjoyed this. $20ish
High-toned red cherry nose. Rich, but with a good knife of acidity. Medium tannins, acidity and body. Huge chocolate bomb. Rosenblum is always a safe bet. $20ish

Honey apple nose, with a little cinnamon. Medium sweetness, light acidity to the point of being flabby. Simple. $15ish

Grassy lime nose. Lightly effervescent, grassy, creamy, lime. Bigger body than a typical NZ SB, but definitely not for non-fans of the style. $20ish
