Billington Imports

Jan 22, 2007
I sat down today with John Linklater of Billington Imports, and tasted a few of his wines.
These wines never cease to amaze me for their ability to over-deliver.
And remember, you should be able to find lower pricing on this stuff!


2004 Catena Chardonnay – Golden, light oak and bright fruit on the nose.
Nutty and mellow with tropical fruit and candy apples. $19? ($16 – Glazers)

2004 Catena Malbec – Dusty, leather and dark fruit nose. Soft and easy with layers of earthy fruit. Dark earthy and velvety. $22+ ($21 – glazers)

2004 Cousino Macul Finis Terrae – Tight, minty nose. Dark red fruit, mocha and mint. A variety of unusual flavors, but it works! It’s soft and lush. $30 ( $20 – Glazers)

2004 Antiguas Riserva – Mineral and petrol on the nose. Berry and coffee flavors with a silky texture and medium tannins. $27 ( $14 – Glazers)

Cheers!
