An upswing in quality over the past decade or so, has resurrected Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafitte's position amongst Bordeaux Chateau. New ownership breathed life into exceptionally positioned vineyards, now farmed with less chemicals, with a more sympatico approach in winery. Famed winemaking consultant Michel Rolland is an additional feather in Smith-Haut-Lafitte's cap, enhancing the wines concentration, power and depth, while maintaining a finesse. Though full-bodied, the wine from 2010 will be approachable a little earlier than most other fine Bordeaux, with more moderate tannin - that being said, it's life will stretch several decades too.

Sanctioned by the Orthodox Union, this creamy sweet red grape wine is 100% Kosher and is a perfect accompianment to many meals and occasions.

Kinor Sacramental red is a arich, sweeter style of red wine that can either be served at room temperature for a full flavour, or chilled down on those warmer days.100% Kosher.

This is a generous Cabernet based blend with soft fleshy black fruit in the mid palate complemented by a fine tannin structure. Maturation in French oak barriques has added complexity.

With light berry aromas and a soft, fruity palate with a touch of sweetness, this is a very appealing, easy drinking red to enjoy at any time. Try lightly chilled on those warm days, served with spicy dishes.

Kanopkop's Kadette is a a blend of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that is full bodied and concentrated. It is a fantastic ambassador for South African wines and drinks well with spicy meat dishes.

Clos Beauregard 2013 has an intense red colour with purple tints. The nose, elegant and complex, delivers ripe black fruit scents with a woody note. On the palate, the wine is ample and well-balanced. The attack, greedy and nice, delivers blueberry jam aromas and a vanilla touch.

Perfectly suited to the caterer, Brown Brothers 10L Dry Red is great value.

In the past, Château Clerc-Milon has been a rather neglected property, but has seen recent rejuvenation due to the famous Baron Phillippe de Rothschild taking charge of the estate. Named after the original owner, Clerc, and the small village in which the Château lies, Milon, the wine itself is predominated by Cabernet Sauvignon which sets it apart from another Rothschild Château, d'Armailhac. 2008 saw a Clerc-Milon of power and strength with bold, ripe fruit that will develop wonderfully in a well cared for cellar.

A very individualistic Bordeaux, Château Gloria is the lifes work of Henri Martin. Henri's Cabernet based wines are a little quirky as the Château never joined the Syndicat des Crus Bourgeois. That has allowed Henri to be a little more creative and produce wines of great concentration for prices that are easily approachable. The United States have been a great supporter of Château Gloria's wines and it seems that Australia is beginning to cotton on. The 2009 will prove to one of the estate's finest with the vintage providing conditions that bordered on pristine. Dark fruits abound along with secondary flavours of coffee and forest floor. All supported by quality oak, this is an affordable quality Bordeaux that everyone can sink their teeth into.
