A lush California Pinot from Santa Rita Hills. Very aromatic; dried sweet cherry, cranberry, spice and dusky forrest floor. Medium body with flavours of ripe cherry, blueberry and a hint of black pepper. Plenty of ripe fruit which hints at sweetness - but only 2 g/l of sugar. Long black cherry finish!

I'm always on the lookout for this wine when it gets released in Vintages. For the price it's a great "everyday" wine to have in your cellar. 60% Monastrell and 40% Syrah from the Alicante region of Spain, it's a great "go to" wine when you are looking for something for supper or to take as a hostess gift. At 15% alcohol you would expect it to be a lot heavier in the mouth than it is. Definitely full bodied but there is a great balance of acidity and fruit to counter balance. Aromas of dark fruit, cassis and oak. Flavours of blackberry and a peppery bite from the Syrah. Now 8 years old the tannins have smoothed out and all elements are in harmony. I think it's quite drinkable now but would still cellar for another few years. Pair with bbq'd hamburgers, steak or any roasted meats. It's a hearty wine to pair with hearty fare!

Who doesn't love a Rosé from Provence? This is a lovely blend of Grenache and Cinsault that makes your mind wander to France and sunshine. Dry - 4 g/l of sugar - the way a Rosé should be! Aromas and flavours of white stone fruit; peach pear and floral notes. Light bodied with fresh acidity. Long fruit finish that makes you want to refill your glass - again and again and again. This isn't just your typical patio wine - I would drink it year round! Tasted November 17/2019
