The Holidays are right around the corner. Now’s the time to treat your family, friends, and colleagues. With your order, we would be happy to include a Holiday note from you.

Assembling these boxes is a labor of love. Please order early so Chris and I can assemble and get these shipped for the holiday season.

2020 was a great growing season in South Africa, with many incredible wines made.
Our Old Vine grapes were planted in 1982, never yielding more than 2 tons per acre. Unirrigated and planted in old granite topsoil and crumbly clay sub-soil.
The grapes were hand-harvested, lightly pressed using a 120 Liter basket press. The pressed juice sat for 24 hours to settle before racking into oak.
Most of the wine was fermented in a 100% neutral 400-liter barrel (76%). 12% fermented naturally on the skins and removed at 7◦ brix. The remaining component in demijohn.
Once the wine was fermented dry, Sur lie aging with monthly Bâtonnage being mindful to keep the wine fresh. (the French term for stirring settled lees back into wine). The wine remained on the lees for twelve months until it was bottled.

This is a very special and unique Merlot. The 2019 Merlot is a spectacular Ruby-colored wine that is lighter-bodied than most. On the nose dark red cherry, spice, red currents, vanilla, and some eucalyptus.

Medium-bodied, with refreshing, bright acidity, and elegant tannins. This wine is designed to drink upon release but can age gracefully for many years.

The wine is delightful served chilled as well.

Pair this wine with tomato-based dishes, roasted chicken, and fish.

We have a limited amount of branded wooded boxes with a bottle each of our 2017 and 2018 Coombsville Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Here’s your chance to taste the difference and choose your favorite.

The 2018 is a deeply colored Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose the wine showcases rich blackberry fruit, espresso, and tobacco. The complex palate bursts with dark cherry and blackberry flavors surrounds by earth and cigar box. The tannins are firm, yet elegant and balanced. This wine is designed to drink upon release but can age gracefully for a decade or longer.

It opens with an exotic mix of black cherry, black currant and hints of herbs and warm spices. Blackberries and cherries tease the palate before exploding into a wine that is broad and mouth filling with soft tannins, elegant and focused from beginning to the long lingering finish. This wine has the balance to age gracefully for a decade.

Decanting this wine prior to drinking is recommended.

Aromas of Gold Delicious apples, Meyer Lemon zest, and pineapple with hints of vanilla, crème Brule, brioche, and honey. Flavors range from peach to starfruit, and sweet cream butter, with a rich mid-palate texture and a bright finish of grapefruit and green apple.

Enjoy this refreshing wine with light and delicate food such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish, light crab and prawns, steamed or grilled fish, pasta, or risotto with spring vegetables.
