Outstanding, mouthfilling, complete.
A classic blend made from classic Bordeaux varieties, which comes from a selection of Napa Valley vineyards, this seductive red is supple with a generosity of fruit. Notes of cassis and plums, sarsaparilla and mocha, are layered with a potpourri of cedar chips and dried violets. It is mouthfilling, expressive and plush, complete and broad.
Outstanding.

Seductive, mouth-filling, supple.
A classic blend made from traditional Bordeaux varieties, which comes from a selection of fine Napa Valley vineyards, this red is seductive. Expect mocha and loads of purple berries, vanilla, cloves, pipe tobacco and sarsaparilla aromas, which roll into generous fruit, and a supple palate weight. It has oomph and concentration with a fine spice and cocoa finish and finely textured tannins.

Delectable, purity, expressive.
This delectable Pinot Noir comes from Hartford Court estate vineyards adjacent to the Pacific coastline along the Sonoma coastal mountains; the winery is just one of the outstanding wineries owned by Jackson Family Wines.
It's a ripe one at 14.9% alc. but it holds its own; classic notes of forest floor and raspberry, cherries and star anise are layered with cardamom, vanilla, cocoa, pipe tobacco and coconut. It has a sweet bouncy character and lovely fruit purity; in this bottle there is more fruit than earth. Expressive and elegant overall, it has a long sweet cola finish with a bit of heat.

Racy, piquant, pungent.
From the cooler Awatere Valley of Marlborough, this pungent version is racy and verdant, lemony punches vibrate out of the glass; asparagus, guava, lime and grapefruit with a hint of peach stone round out its perfume. Mouthwatering and piquant, precise and focused. A delight to drink.

Racy, piquant, crunchy.
This newly released featured Savvy in BC Liquor Stores is the product of a collaboration between Invivo Wines of Waikato in northern New Zealand (just south of Auckland), and actress Sarah Jessica Parker. The grapes come from Savvy central, Marlborough and it is a pristine and piquant drop of goodness, spot-on for those of you who love your racy and fruity Sauvignon Blancs. Green apples and gooseberry, crunchy peaches and honey, passionfruit and elderflower branch aromas lead the charge. The palate stays the course; poppin' fruit, verdant and mouthwatering. Good length here--a very tasty quaff.
"I've been so looking forward to releasing my Invivo X, Sarah Jessica Parker Sauvignon Blanc and sharing it with the world. The whole marvelous experience was a great and unexpected opportunity and yes, at last we get to introduce the fruits of these last many months. We are thrilled to pour our first glasses, delight in imagining others do so and hope very much that you love it as much as we do."
