Zyn.ca is pleased to announce a special event for a wonderful cause. In collaboration with legendary Australian winemaker Tim Knappstein. We are happy to introduce his latest award winning wines with in-store tastings from June 3-7.

Zyn.ca will donate $2.50/bottle, to Make-A-Wish® Southern Alberta for their Charity Golf Tournament, Golfing for Wishes on June 7th. We would encourage customers tasting and purchasing these wines; can also donate extra to this amazing charity by contacting karen.rousch@makeawish.ca.

About the wine:

RIPOSTE “THE SABRE” PINOT NOIR - $30.37/bottle

Highly aromatic fruit and spice aromas. Attractive mid-to dark cherry tones followed by classic strawberry and cherry fruits. A lift of fragrant flavours mid-palate that hang in the mouth as its vibrant, fresh berries drive the finish. Delicious to drink young but five years of cellaring will reward your patience.

REVIEWS:

· 4 ½ out of 5 stars - James Halliday, 2010 Australian Wine Companion

· 2007 Best South Australia Pinot Noir, Hyatt/Advisor (7th win in 12 entries)

· 100 Best Australian Wines/50 Greatest New World Pinot Noirs

- Matthew Jukes, Leading UK Wine Expert


RIPOSTE “THE FOIL” SAUVIGNON BLANC - $23.45/bottle

The wine reflects the region’s reputation for excellent and memorable Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh, crisp and lively, The Foil shows fruit on the offensive, a thrust of lifted passion fruit and gooseberry combined with a mineral edge. It tastes pure, intense, tight and clean on the palate and tapers to a crisp, finely honed acid point.

REVIEWS:

· 94 points - James Halliday - 2010 Australian Wine Companion

· One of the Top 3 Australian Sauvignon Blancs - James Halliday, 2009

· 5 out of 5 stars - James Halliday - 2009 Australian Wine Companion
