Marcus James Chardonnay
(LCBO #372672 - $8.30)
Marcus James Chardonnay is made in a mellow, fruit-forward style
that doesn't require bottle aging. It has a light golden colour
and a warm bouquet of vanilla accented with ripe tropical aromas
of pineapple and guava. The wine’s clean finish makes it delicious
on its own, and the lush full-fruit flavours also marry well
with rich fish dishes, risotto and creamy chicken with leeks.
Marcus James Malbec
(LCBO #518431 - $8.30)
Marcus James Malbec displays subdued aromas of red fruit and almonds,
rounded rich flavours and textures, a deep red hue, and a medium-long
finish.
This Malbec is a most interesting wine for dinner parties or weekday
meals, and it pairs beautifully with long-simmered stews, grilled
or roasted meats, and firm aged cheeses.
Marcus
James Merlot
(LCBO #336008 - $8.30)
Red fruit aromas of plums and black cherries are backed up by
a subtle scent of leather. The wine has pleasant and agreeable
flavours without being overly delicate. A clean, pleasant finish
balances its medium body and characteristic soft Merlot tannins.
Marcus James Merlot definitely shines when served alongside food.
Its aroma and flavour profiles suggest diverse pairing from chicken
to sausages to beef, or serve it after the meal with a selection
of mellow aged cheeses. |

Trivento Golden Reserve
Malbec 2001
(Vintages #588731 - $19.95)
Tended with love and care from first growth to the bottle for
those that adore great wines. Meticulous vineyard practices, nursing
the yield of each vine to produce superbly ripe grapes and secure
the quality of our Golden Reserve. A deep, ruby red with purple
hues, the wine's delicious combination of aromas hint at mint,
cherries and chocolate, which results from a year of lying in
new French oak. The outcome of a further twelve months of bottle
aging is delicate and round on the palate. |
