Full and rich, with bristling spices livening the lemon curd, honeydew and vanilla oats. A hint of mint and ample shaved wood closes out the finish. Full bodied and expansively rich on the palate, this has a steady hum of bright acidity working overdrive, but keeping pace. Youthful, this should settle some with another year or so in bottle, but will always make a match with richer white seafood or creamy shellfish.
Pretty floral, elderflower and apple blossom scent this lifted and light sparkling Chenin Blanc from Vouvray. Gentle white peach lingers on the bright, dry finish. Effortless and easily drinkable, especially at brunch.
Full ruby. Classic nose of blackberries, hints of smoke and black olives. Full body; grainy texture wrapped in fruity extract. Balanced acidity, round finish of good length highlighting a precise dark cherry note.
Beautiful floral nose; layered, concentrated and elegant with depth and character showing bright penetrating flavours of blackberry, cherry, currant, liquorice and plum with full yet polished tannins, lively acidity and an incredible long, mineral-laden finish. A distinct step up from the plethora of one-dimensional Malbecs flooding the market. Producer and vineyard site do matter. The wine will definitely evolve and develop in the cellar for 5 to 8 years.
From a high elevation, north facing slope in Olalla, between Cawston and Green Lake. A fresh and pure varietal expression, unfiltered and unfined, concrete fermented and aged in neutral French oak. Bursting with strawberry and red fruits, light to medium-bodied with a touch of slate and a fruity finish.
This oozes that great County minerality to go with crisp apple, lemon-lime and a splash of melon. Such purity of fruit on the palate with a gorgeous vein of crushed stones through the long, crisp finish.
Organic and biodynamic, the 2012 Quarry Chardonnay is an open and accessible offering with pear, anise, honey, yellow apple, pineapple and vanilla qualities. Medium body; there is excellent length and sound acidity. Perfect with lobster and drawn butter with grilled salmon filet.
