A delicate yet rich fruity varietal flavor with a crisp dry finish. Another good sipping wine, it goes particularly well with Thai food. A warm complex wine with luscious berry and fruit flavors. Aged in French and American Oak, this wine reminds one of a soft Haut-Medoc. This vineyard is at the tip of the South Island of New Zealand, part of the original Cloudy Bay vineyard.
Cloudy Bay is very similar in taste and quality.
I continue to be impressed with this wonderful wine. Ruby in color with a ripe cherry nose, it has flavors of fresh fruit and a good complex body. Terrific with Italian food or a good steak. Port La Rosa's Ruby continues to amaze. It's young fruit explodes on the palate with a fiery warmth.
