It is well-balanced with soft tannins and idyllically paired with red meats like lamb kebabs.

Paso de Luz Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Chilean red with deep ruby colour, it has a nose of crushed berry fruit and a hint of raisins. Blackcurrant flavours dominate the palate, lush and savoury with a firm finish.

Vina Punto Alto Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Chile

Inky black and dense, with ripe cassis and damson scents and overlaid with hints of tobacco and sandalwood. Serve at room temperature with stews and steaks as well as grilled meats and hard cheeses.

Laroche Merlot 2003

Warm ruby red, aromas of blackcurrants and red fruits with ripe red fruits flavours and a rounded, elegant finish reminiscent of a Saint-Emilion from Bordeaux, France.

Paiara Puglia 2003

Deep plummy red, this Italian wine has a lovely extraction of black fruits and dry spices on the nose and nicely concentrated fruit on the palate. It also has a very good length and a lovely smooth finish.
