Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Outstanding value for the price.

Dense purple-black. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Crystalline pale gold. Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. A natural match for seafood and shellfish. Outstanding value for the price.

Inky violet core. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Silky texture and great length. Punches well above its weight.

Amber and luminous. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Elegant, fresh and persistent. A solid, dependable choice.

Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. A serious wine that rewards patience.
