About the wine
Merlot on steroids!
- A big punchy wine with enough fruit to knock you off your feet and an oak aging that makes it smoother than silk.
- After Eric's success with Malbec he decided to rope in some more Bordeaux varieties - this is like a Merlot/Malbec on steroids.
- Kolbe tastes a bit young today on vibrant ripe berries, but let it breathe and you'll get a glimpse of the big, brawny wine underlying all that fruit.

Meet the winemaker - Eric Gordon
-
Eric has been working on prestigious wines since 1997 and his high-tech background means he's never afraid to embrace innovative ideas and techniques.
-
Working with obscure grape varieties and vineyards that don't fit the Big Brand archetypes means Eric pays less and gets more, so he can pass those savings on to you.
-
Does it pay off to challenge the status quo? You be the judge. Open a bottle of Eric's wine and let us know if he's on the right track.
