Pike Creek is matured in a warehouse in Pine Creek, Ontrario, Canada, which is non climate-controlled, with no electricity in an erratic northern weather system which has dramatic seasonal swings in temperature, where the barrels shrink in the coldest of winters, & swell during the hot summer months. Full & robust in body with a complex nose of dried fruits with underlying peppery spice & subtle toffee notes. A pleasant, warm & smooth port finish. Finished in vintage port barrels. ...

Deep red – in colour with aromas of super ripe blueberry, plum & blackberry Shiraz fruit with some dark chocolate & licorice notes as well. These are all complimented nicely by a touch of charry French oak somewhere in the mix. The palate is soft & powerful with flavours of blueberry, plum & charry oak overlaying a core of dark chocolate running through the mid palate. Silky tannins on the finish adds length & a little structure to the ripe, plush fruit. A lovely example of Clare Valley Shiraz. No problem in enjoying this as a youthful wine, but as usual 4-7+ years will see some development occur in the wine & amply repay those like more complex aged characters in their reds. ...

Medium density, bright red Aromas, typically dark cherry/blueberry fruit & just a hint of dried herbs. Some subtle oak aromas deliver an enticing amalgam of aromas. Again this is absolutely typical of this noble Tuscan variety. Medium weight cherry & blueberry fruit – quite juicy, nicely balanced by savoury tannins & good acid that forms a structure that could only point towards the Sangiovese grape. A variety that really does need food to show its best. Anything from pizza & pasta to grilled meats will work. No problem to keep for 3-5 years in the cellar. ...

Deep red in colour with attractive aromas of crushed violets, black cherries & dark chocolate, with a just a touch of “charry” French oak complimenting the fragrant fruit characters. A medium bodied palate of ripe, dark fruits, leafy Cabernet & a little dark chocolate sit nicely with the very soft tannins, subtle oak & balanced acidity. Quite an elegant wine. A really good wine from a top Clare vintage. Good to drink now for such a young wine, but will take 5-10 years cellaring without any problems at all. Grilled Sirloin medium rare. Great value red! Cabernet 51%, Merlot 49%. ...

Colour- Dark crimson. Bouquet- Intense Margaret River characters of blackcurrant, ripe berries, sage & bay leaf. Palate- Opulent blackberry & sweet plums, long & satisfying with integrated French oak & structural chewy tannins. Cellaring Potential- 10 years.

Limited stock. Bright, pale green straw tints with absolutely fresh aromas of stone & tropical fruits with a little nashi pear & mineral in the background. Quite subtle & restrained, but very typical of the variety. Gentle stone / tropical fruit flavours & fresh, zingy acidity make for a light, refreshing wine that finishes clean & dry. ...

Attractive aromas abound with ripe black & red fruits to the fore with hints of spice, chocolate & mint. The palate is soft, rich & juicy with intense berry, plum & chocolate flavours. Fine, ripe tannins & balanced acid texture & length. Perhaps a little more serious wine than the name suggests. While providing affordable every day drinking, this wine definitely delivers plenty on the quality front. ...

A brilliant, pale green with pristine aromas of lime, lemon & grapefruit dominating initially, followed by gentle floral notes & a suggestion of wet slate
- very typical & very attractive. The palate is fresh, crisp & dry, full of the aforementioned citrus flavours with balancing acidity that drives to the finish. Finishes clean & dry with a hint of textural grip.

Appearance: Medium to deep red. Aroma: Perfumed aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry with a just a hint of violets. The subtle, cedary French oak is very much in the background as it should be. Palate: A medium bodied palate displaying excellent concentration of dark fruits, fine tannins, balanced acidity & really classy cedary French oak. ...

Typically restrained for a young Merle displaying pristine aromas of lime, lemon & stone fruits along with a hint of wet slate & talc. Again restrained / subtle with the citrus characters the main drivers, but once the acid kicks in the whole thing livens up & the textural / talc elements of the palate are apparent. It displays great length of flavour & a pureness that typifies this vineyard. ...
