Forget about prejudice. This Muscat is actually dry, serious, and slightly less aromatic than what we're used to, and it truly enchanted us. In fact, it reminds us more of Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay than Muscat. Elegant hints of rose, lychee, and grapefruit, surprisingly good structure, and a long finish guarantee that you'll regret it when the bottle is empty.
The sheep on the label not only represent the heritage of Castile, which has a strong historical connection to shepherding, but also an honest approach to winemaking and agriculture.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
