Grape Variety: Zinfandel

Background: Back in 1985, around a friendly game of Liar’s Dice, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready decided to make their love of fine wines official.

Tasting Notes: A bouquet of strawberry and red plum with a hint of oak. This Zinfandel is juicy as ever with soft ripe tannins and fresh flavours of black raspberry, cherry and jam.

Thoughts from the Winemaker David Ready, JR: “Liar’s Dice is as juicy as ever! The soft tannins invite ripe, yet fresh flavours of black raspberry, black cherry, and blackberry jam. This is created to be a second glass Zin! If you have one, you are certain to have a second.".

Food Pairing: Suggested dishes to pair with this wine are meat sambousek, short rib taco, kafta tagine and crispy aromatic pork.

VEGAN

VEGETARIAN

Region: U.S.A., California, Sonoma County

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaking Process: Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are blended with Merlot for softness, Cabernet Franc for tannins, Petit Verdot for an enhanced mouthfeel and Malbec for roundeness. It is aged for 10 months in French Oak barrels (59%) American Oak Barrels (29%) and stainless steel vats. Artisanal winemaking techniques, including cold soaking and extended maceration are used to enhance and soften the tannins, deepen the colour and intensify the flavours.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of lush black cherry, blackberry and cassis draw you in. Round, rich seamless tannins provide a robust backbone and supple mid-palate. Notes of cedar, vanilla and a hint of mocha linger on the finish.

Food Pairing: This is a perfect wine for pairing with steak, barbecued meats or hearty roast vegetables.
