"It's beautifully fruited and delightfully expressed on the nose, showing dark plum, blackberry, thyme, toasted hazelnut and subtle game characters. The palate is plump and gorgeously flavoursome with excellent fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, making it comforting and very tasty." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2020

"Toffee, smoke, yeast extract, crushed leaf and charry elements, becoming more fragrant with time in the glass. A rush of sweet fruit evolves to savoury nuances, adding chocolate, leaf, lead pencil and spice notes, growing and building in the glass with aeration. A little tangy bite on the close. A reliable choice" Mark Henderson, Wine Times, Jun 2020

Its colour is deep ruby, with tantalising dark fruit aromas of blackberry, cherry and plum. Intertwined with this are hints of chocolate, liquorice and vanilla, along with savoury notes of wood smoke and spice. The mouthfeel is silky and succulent, with ripe tannins that provide balance and structure. A long hot summer has delivered a beautifully crafted, harmonious wine, displaying both power and finesse.

Settled weather in North Canterbury during December provided optimal conditions for flowering. A very hot summer then enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully. The free draining stony soil helped mitigate the effects of some late summer rain, and the ensuing dry autumn meant the fruit was able to be picked in excellent condition.

Main Divide is the local name for the Southern Alps and is the backbone of the South Island, where grapes for Main Divide are exclusively sourced. Vineyards have been selected for their quality and ability to express unique regional flavours.

This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux, using traditional methods. After being picked in April, the grapes began fermentation naturally in stainless steel tanks. During this process the juice was regularly drained and sprayed back over the cap of floating grape skins (rather than plunging), to ensure a perfect tannin balance was extracted from the fruit. The wine was then gently pressed off and put into French oak barriques (10% new). The following summer, when the weather warmed, it underwent a natural malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. After maturing in oak for 18 months, the various batches were then carefully blended in varying portions to produce the most complex and balanced wine possible. The finished product is a blend of approximately 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec.

Food Pairing: Paired well with grilled red meats & hearty, comforting pasta dishes

Lasted less than 60 seconds - 6 month puppy.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Lasted less than 60 seconds ! Stop calling a product a chew. When there is nothing lasting. I should start returning products that are misrepresented. And stop reading reviews.

Great product
Oh my God, my dogs love these they inhale them, but I only give them one a day or even one every other day. It's perfect. It doesn't have ingredients in it that my dogs are allergic to like 99% of the treats and dog food have it so that's this is gonna be a definitely definitely thing that I'm gonna purchase for them. My dog is allergic to furrous sulfate and why people put this in their animals foods I don't know, but they need to stop really putting things in it that doesn't really be necessary. This is great has nothing in it so hundred percent matter fact I'm reading it right now. It was for small dogs, medium dogs and large dogs. Well my dog's 130 pounds. The other one is 190 you cannot give this to puppies under three months old I don't know why but one thing is the package itself doesn't save the ingredients. Maybe this is it biscuit chicken coconut, peanut butter, some kind of starch and sorbitol, but it's only 2% so it's not bad but that is unnecessary to put in any Dog or cat for that matters.
