Reds

Argentine Malbec with Grape Skins
A medium/full-bodied, dry red wine with firm acidity, rich tannins and generous alcohol levels. Dark, inky purple color and ripe fruit flavors of plums, black cherry and blackberry give an almost jammy character on the palate. Smoke, earth, leather, wild game, tobacco and white/black pepper along with intriguingly spicy notes make for an interesting medley of aromas and flavors, adding to layers of complexity.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium

Australian Cabernet Sauvignon
The bold, individualistic style of Australia's winemakers has unleashed the
full potential behind the king of red grapes', captured here in our Australian
Cabernet Sauvignon. Combines forward fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry and
blackcurrant with a tremendous backing of tannin and structure. Rich and
polished with a long, layered finish warmly accentuated with oak.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy

Australian Cabernet Shiraz
The blend that made Australia famous. Cabernet Sauvignon's structural
intensity perfectly complements the ripe fruit and chocolate flavors of Shiraz,
for rich, complex and hearty red wine of outstanding character. Big, bold and
dark a luxurious treat.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy

Australian Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre
The blending of these three grapes is a classic, originating in the South of
France where Côtes du Rhone and Chateauneuf du Pape concentrate on these varieties. The small, thick skinned berries are deep blue-black in color, high in extract, flavor, aroma and tannin.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medi

Australian Shiraz
The grape that was made for Down Under - its hot climate perfect for bringing
out the best traits in this popular grape varietal. Australian Shiraz is seductively delicious, with startlingly rich, ripe aromas that deliver right  through to the full zesty finish. Amazingly, the style allows for polished tannins early, so the young wine is not rough or harsh. The aged version retains the core fruit flavors of plums, cherries and blackberries, but gains extra polish.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy

Nebbiolo
Large and robust, this style is the one that lovers of big wines are looking for. Made famous in Italy's Piedmont region - highly regarded for its finest wines - this Barolo is rich in flavor and deep in color, with a rounded oak aroma that lingers on the finish. Not surprisingly, Barolo is a consistently popular offering year in and year out.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium

California Cabernet Sauvignon
The noble California red grape. Rich in tannins, it produces a deep, full-bodied wine with intense aroma and flavor. A robust wine, perfect with red  meat or wild game. Best when aged for several months.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium

California Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot
This popular blend combines the plump, fruity, earlier ageing Merlot grape with the robust Cabernet Sauvignon grape for a powerful match.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium

California Merlot
The plump, lush fruitiness of this respected grape translates into a wine which perfectly balances berry and spice flavors with a smooth, supple texture.
Mouth-filling and delicious; a standout with grilled meats.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Sangiovese (Chianti Style)
The pride of Italy's Tuscany region, this blend is famous for its full, dry character and elegant flavors of cherries and blackberries. Sturdy and robust,
with tangy undertones and a slight spiciness. Ageing uncovers its complex depth of flavor.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Chilean version of this classic boasts black pepper and berry bouquets.
Notably flavorful, with tannins that develop with age. Pairs with beef, turkey,
lamb and stews.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Chilean Carmenère
Deep crimson, with dark cherry aroma, red fruits and berry notes running to a
smoky, spicy finish with notes of dark chocolate and tobacco. With medium body and moderate tannins, Carmenere drinks well young and improves with age.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy

Chilean Malbec
An intense bouquet of damson plums, blackcurrant and violet aroma, which give way to a slight touch of hunting and leather notes. This richly purple colored Malbec carries the plush texture of ripe tannins with long, soft flavors. Although it ages beautifully, firm tannins and mellow acidity allow this wine to be enjoyed while young.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Chilean Merlot
Powerful fruit and spice flavor, with mellow tannins for a supple finish.
Deserves ageing, but will develop quicker than Cabernet Sauvignon and will stand up to the same food pairings.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Chilean Pinot Noir
Chilean Pinot Noir is a bright ruby color with delicate aromas of red berry flavors. Medium bodied and supple with a hint of herbiness, the mouth feel is very elegant with soft tannins and a subtle oak finish. Vibrant and food friendly, this wine is excellent with salmon, roast beef and lamb.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium  Oak Intensity: Medium

Italian Amarone Style with Grape Skins
Italy's most powerful wine, Amarone is renowned as a fruity, full-bodied,
with rich intensity from the dried grape skins included in the fermentation. 
An intense, complex  wine, with a wide array of flavors and aromas. Deep, nearly opaque red, this heavyweight exudes aromas of sour cherries, dark chocolate, stewed plums, dried  fruits, anise, raisins, bitter almond, tobacco, leather and molasses, and has a spicy-earthy bittersweet finish that goes on and on, from the huge volume of  tannins. Alcohol by Volume 13.5-14%      Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium     
  
Italian Brunello Style with Grape Skins
A dark-cherry color with highlights of gorgeous ruby-garnet. Bold, yet supple,
the big, smoky-earthy nose of ultra-ripe cherry and currant-like fruit gives way
to a hint of tar and cracked black pepper, cedar, whiffs of liquorice, leather,
and also plums and black cherries, followed by a richly tannic, long, long
finish. The super concentrated flavours are generous even in youth, but this
sensational wine is sensational after six months to a year. Good acidity makes
this a very food friendly wine: like many Italian reds, Brunello shines in the
company of assertively flavored foods.  Alcohol by Volume 13.0-13.5%      Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy     

Luna Rossa
Bold, robust and intense: Winexpert's 'Big Red' is the largest, most
full-bodied red wine ever released! A dark, inviting color and rich, bold
oak-enhanced aromas suggest at what is to come: an abundance of mouth-filling, chewy berry flavors. Luna Rossa is complex, with rich layers of fruit and solid supporting tannins, capped by a long oak finish. A powerful wine matching startling flavors and aromas with elegance and finesse.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy      
 
New Zealand Pinot Noir
New Zealand's finest. A delicate wine with aromas of violet and luscious red
fruit characteristics of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Silky tannins grip
your palate and end with a velvet, smooth finish. An elusive aftertaste of spice
& toasty vanilla makes you long for more.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Pinot Noir
The varietal responsible for classic red burgundy. The scent, flavor, body
and texture of Pinot Noir is profound. Supple, spicy fruit flavors are a
delight to the palate.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium     

Valpolicella Style
Italian style wine with a delicate bouquet and a rich texture. Ruby red color. Fragrant and fruity. The addition of oak enhances its aroma.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium| Oak Intensity: Medium     

Vieux Chateau du Roi
Full-bodied, yet soft and quick to mature, this is the perennially popular French red wine blend that continues to keep them coming back with its smooth, easy charms. A Winexpert specialty blending a host of grape varieties, each  contributing to the layers of aroma and flavors that make this so special.
Complex and full of character, yet supple and easy drinking.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium

Blush

California White Zinfandel
Complete with Winexpert's innovative F-pack, this blush favorite displays the trademark pink hues and a soft, refreshing taste that make it particularly enjoyable as a chilled delight on a summer afternoon. Must be tried to be believed.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None

Whites

Australian Chardonnay
Leave it to the Aussies to take the noble French grape and turn it into the
wine equivalent of a full-on party. The Chardonnays of Australia continue to wow wine drinkers around the world with their unabashed celebration of opulent fruit and vanilla-oak, full-bodied flavor. Our Chardonnay is no exception. Full, supple, buttery and fruity, this golden wine delivers from start to clean, lingering finish. Ideal with chicken, fish, salads and cream-sauce pastas.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy

Australian Traminer-Riesling
The lively golden hue reveals a combination of floral notes and apple crispness with perfumed headiness of lychee, rose petals, and hints of passion fruit. The long finish and medium body makes a great off-dry wine for sipping. Excellent with Asian cuisine, soft cheeses, oily fish and especially smoked salmon.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None

California Chardonnay
Full of citrus and tropical fruit flavors and warm vanilla oak
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium  | Oak Intensity: Medium     

California Gewürztraminer
This immensely charming, exotic wine is true to its German translation:  spicy. Deeply colored and opulently aromatic, with an unmistakably flowery perfume and flavors of lychees and roses. Crisp, lush, and refreshing - a  wonderful match with spicy foods, strong cheeses and fresh fruits.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None

California Riesling
The character of this fine varietal is truly distinctive. Displays a flowery bouquet, complex fruit and cinnamon flavors and a crisp, clean finish. Versatile in pairing with foods, especially seafood, pork or veal.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: None     

California Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp and flavorful, this popular grape varietal has distinctive and  immediately recognizable aroma and flavor characteristics. The famous grassy, herbaceous bouquet and flinty aftertaste are here, with the generous acidity that is typical of the grape. Steely, grassy, and defiantly dry, nothing can complement a meal better than Sauvignon Blanc, a unique wine that offers a definitive counterpoint to the ubiquitous Chardonnay.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None      
 
California Symphony

A white wine with the incredibly intense aromas of melon, grapefruit, mango,
peach, banana and papaya. The fruity character picks up a strong backbone from  the good acidity, and hint of tannin, carried over from the Grenache Gris
grape.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium  | Oak Intensity: None     

California Viognier
The intense fruitiness of this beguiling wine suggests rich sweetness, but it
shows a surprisingly dry and aromatic finish. A delicate yellow color, tinged
with the variety's typical 'green-gold' hue, it bursts out of the glass with apricot, peach and spice aromas. As it matures, it can also display hints of  jasmine, honeysuckle, kiwi, mint, orange blossom and even mango! While higher in
alcohol than many white wines, it drinks well young nonetheless. Lower acidity
makes it friendly to a wide range of foods, but it's 'soft but strong' character
makes it excellent for sipping alone.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None

German Müller-Thurgau
Developed as a cross combining the lively qualities of Riesling with the viticultural reliability of Sylvaner, Germany's most widely cultivated grape
attains rare heights in aroma and flavor. Winexpert's German  Muller-Thurgau is crisp and clean, with a grapey fruit character, low to medium acidity, and a pleasantly fragrant aroma. Vibrant flavors of crunchy green apples are imparted in its floral residual sweetness, aided by the addition of our finishing pack.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None

Italian Pinot Grigio
The uniquely Italian version of the well known Pinot Gris grape, picked earlier in Italy than in all other regions and well before its characteristic loss of acidity at ripening, for a bright, crisp, dry white wine with a gentle perfume and a detectable spiciness. Fresh, fragrant and lively, its flavors  include a certain flintiness with hints of citrus and almonds.
Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: None

Liebfraumilch Style
Winexpert's new F-pack provides the finishing touch for this popular German
classic. With a pronounced floral bouquet and a perfect marriage of sweetness
with a slight dry finish, this startling wine is made for seafood and strong  cheeses.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None      
 
Luna Bianca
Winexpert's biggest, boldest white wine ever. In the spirit of the great  full-bodied Chardonnays of California and Australia, Luna Bianca is lush, golden
and rich. Dense, luscious, buttery aromas dance up from the glass. Flavors of
tropical fruits blend with the vanilla-oak backing- a technique usually achieved through barrel fermentation with extended lees (yeast sediment) contact. The high alcohol finished wine is smooth and mouth filling. Includes an  F-pack with pure Chardonnay juice - another industry first.
Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Full | Oak Intensity: Heavy
