Pale yellow. Citrus and exotic fruits (apricot), a slight buttery note and a mineral undertone. Good acidity, a small amount of oak augments the volume and the fatty feel of the middle palate. Good freshness overall, helped by a return of acidity in the sharp finish.
They don’t come much better than this from Napa. A big, straw-coloured, mouth filling wine with a nose of sun-warmed hay, apples and cloves, lovely, rich mouthfeel with flavours of orange, tropical fruits and toast. Long finish.
Certainly one of most talked about Chardonnay producers in California. The Les Noisetiers is the epitome of the buttery style of Chardonnay that’s either loved or hated. It shows a cacophony of fruit on the nose from apple, pear and melon to secondary notes of bread dough, minerals, almonds all slathered in buttery goodness. It’s simply gorgeous in the mouth with ripe fruits that work so well with fine oak, spice, nuts and flavours that are layered and sublime. A wine made for lobster smothered in butter.
Dark copper with aromas of raisin, plum, and molasses, immediate flavours of caramel with a prominent spiciness and a touch of citrus. The peppercorn flavour lingers. Unique, and probably a beer you either love or don’t.
An unfiltered, full bodied, extremely hoppy and tasty beer with complex fruity aromas and full flavours of rich caramel, grapefruit and a great hop bitterness on the long lasting finish. Very nice and balanced with great character.
Very approachable in an attractively forward New World style showing enticingly perfumed berry scents, smooth rounded strawberry and red cherry flavours on the palate and supple light tannins.
A well priced, easy-drinking Pinot. Ruby colour with a candied raspberry nose, medium bodied, fruity, slightly sweet and jammy with enough tannin to give it structure. Easy drinking.
