Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Dense and structured, built to age. Outstanding value for the price.

Ruby K. 🌱 Novice 2025-09-28

Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Elegant, fresh and persistent. Punches well above its weight.

Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. It finishes with polished, chalky tannins. Try it with mushroom risotto. A solid, dependable choice.

Dense purple-black. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Silky texture and great length. Will happily buy again.
