“Amber and luminous; scents of stone fruit and honey, concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin.”
Deep ruby in the glass. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Outstanding value for the price.
Vivid salmon pink. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Highly recommended.
Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.
Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. A solid, dependable choice.
Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. A benchmark for the region.
