Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Silky texture and great length. Punches well above its weight.
Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. A warm, lasting finale. A solid, dependable choice.
Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. A serious wine that rewards patience.
Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. Will happily buy again.

Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. A benchmark for the region.
Vivid salmon pink. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Dense and structured, built to age. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Try it with mushroom risotto. Outstanding value for the price.
Deep ruby in the glass. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. The finish is long and savoury. A natural match for seafood and shellfish. A solid, dependable choice.
Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. A solid, dependable choice.
