Hickinbotham Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
Trueman represents Cabernet in Clarendon at its best. Its purity, its elegant style, its supple, polished nature ... it’s a wine of its own.Distinct in character, this is not like Cabernet from the Vales below or the hills to the east. From its pretty, delicate florals and musk, through to its silky blackcurrant and kalamata juice and down to its dark carbon soul - Trueman is a modern Cabernet that encapsulates all the toil and antiquity of Clarendon. Echoing the unearthed prose of wine writer Ebenezer Ward from 1886 on theCabernet sown from this very land – Trueman is “an excelled wine, of very marked flavor and bouquet”.
Review:
Deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham Vineyard has a classic nose showing pronounced fresh blackcurrant and blackberry highlighted by cloves, menthol, pencil shavings and earth notes. Medium to full-bodied, taut and muscular, the palate has grainy tannins, nice freshness and a long finish.

Brize Cabernet d'Anjou Rose Louresses is made from Cabernet Franc.
Cabernet d'Anjou is a semi-sweet rosé wine from the Loire Valley, produced from Cabernet Franc and/or Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The 'Louresses' designation refers to the specific vineyard parcel at Domaine de Brize.
This charming rosé offers a beautiful salmon-pink color with delicate aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and rose petals. On the palate, it is fresh and fruity with a hint of sweetness balanced by crisp acidity.
Perfect as an aperitif, or pair with Asian cuisine, spicy dishes, or fresh fruit desserts.
