Tangy, crisp, tart
This Argentine Sauvignon Blanc has a mild nose of white flowers, orchard fruits and lemons with vague wet stone and herbal flavours. The palate is straightforward with charred honey, tart citrus, crunchy star fruit and faint grassy undertones. A buy-by-the-case price.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.

Second Review: January 2023
Spiced plum and forest berry aromas are layered with smoked meat and earth, cocoa, white pepper, espresso and cocoa. The palate is slick and salty with flavours that echo the nose; red berries, herbs, toasted spice and leather.

Value, fresh, approachable.
The Condor Peak wines offer great buy-by-the-case value.
This new addition suggests charred hickory and smoked meat, blackened plums dipped in warm chocolate, baking spices and vanilla. Nice freshness here, the same smoke meat, chocolate and spice rub flavours roll over the palate. A smooth and approachable BBQ wine.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive

Smoky, earthy, succulent.
A step up in price from the entry-level Malbec, this reserve has interesting smoked meat, sour cherries, espresso, bittersweet cocoa, herbs, toasted spices and leather aromas lead to a similarly succulent palate that is spicy, smokey and earthy.
A red for roasted meats, hearty pastas and mushroom dishes.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary
