Opens with deeply scented cherry and raspberry with a dusting of cinnamon on the nose leading the way for lusciously fresh cherry and red berry flavours with a dash of spice and a light splash of milk chocolate. Better with another year or two in the cellar to give primary acidity a bit more time to round out.
Opens with mellow green apple and subtle nutty overtones on the nose, with typical green apple flavour delivered in a rounded, creamy texture, countered by contrasting crisp acidity and dry mineral grip. Solid, food-friendly and fairly priced.
Ripe citrus, floral and mineral on the nose, give way to lemon and ripe grapefruit flavours supported by refreshingly soft acidity, gravelly mineral and a clean, attractively fruity finish.
Clear, the color of old brass. Seductive nose of elderflower, rose, lychee, bruised apple, a bit of varnish. Viscous in the mouth, sweet and grapey with a still-lingering spark of acidity. Endless finish. Super with the stuffed Easter turkey, cranberries and roasted Brussels sprouts. Great value. Ready to drink now.
Blend includes somewhat uncommon southern varietals like Rousanne and Rolle. Clear medium gold. Forward nose of melon, pineapple and lanolin. Full-bodied, tasting of ripe apple, stewed apricots and honey. Prominent acidity. Fruit may be thinning, at its best now.
Clear pale gold. Nose of Granny Smith apple, pineapple, lime peel, set off with a bit of tonic water or iodine bitterness. Light-bodied, tasting of lemon, pineapple, melon and grapefruit. Crisp acidity, but this wine is fruity, not sour. Excellent with shellfish or delicate white fish. Drink immediately.
Concentrated with black fruit, finesse, freshness and structure with firm, yet silky tannins. Drinking well now with some time in the decanter, but will benefit from a few more years in the cellar. Try with venison, veal and hard cheese.
