From The Cellar

Tom 2000 Hawkes Bay
Produced in a Bordeaux-style, this top red wine has complex earthy cassis aromas, classic structure and great depth and length. The finest match for tender New Zealand beef or lamb. Luce 97 Italy
The unique blend of Montalcin’o finest Sangiovese and Merlot sets this super Tuscan apart from the rest. Martinborough Vineyards Pinot Noir 2004
A classic, sensual Pinot Noir nose full of enticing earthy, savoury characters with luscious layers of dark, juicy cherry fruit characters on the palate. Supple velevty tannins and spicy oak complete what is a truly fine wine. Dry River Pinot Noir 2002 Martinborough
Intense ruby red in colour and very aromatic, with aromas of flowers
cherry and nuts. Elegantly spiced with rich raspberries and black doris plum, hints of mocha and dried tobacco provide additional palate appeal. Gibbston Estate Reserve Pinot Noir 2005 Central Otago
This luscious Pinot Noir is complex on the nose and delicious on the palate. This is a richly textured classic Central Otago Pinot Noir and one of the finest examples available. Cornerstone Vineyard Cabernet Merlot Malbec 1998
Gimblett Gravels Hawkes Bay
The gold medals for this wine follows on from Gold medals for the 1994, 1995 and 1997 vintages. From the unparalleled 1998 vintage, this is a wine of huge intensity and length. Super ripe fruit has produced a powerful wine jam packed with blackberry and violet characters and layer upon layer of complexity. Beautifully integrated French oak provides the structure for this wine which is aging gracefully. One of New Zealand’s most outstanding Cabernet dominant wines.
5 Gold / 5 Stars Awards Willows Bonesetter Shiraz 2004 Barossa Valley
One of the finest producers of Shiraz in the Barossa Valley. This is the premium Shiraz from Willows and is produced from vines planted in the early 1960s. Peter Scholz is the 6th generation to produce wines under the Willows label and has developed the Bonesetter lable in memory of JG Scholz, who in an earlier career set broken bones in the Prussian army. This a truly outstanding wine with great depth and persistence on the palate, rich blackberry and plum fruit with silky tannins on the finish. 96/100 James Halliday ]]> http://takapuna-mediterranean-food.simnz.com/aubergine-restaurant/wine-red/merlot/cellared-wines/feed/ 0
