Very elegant and restrained for a Napa Chardonnay. Straw-coloured with a bouquet of green pineapple, vanilla and oak spice; full-bodied, spicy, richly extracted citrus and pineapple flavours. Just a joy to drink.
Aromas and flavours of cherry and plum with hints of dried herbs and tobacco and quite youthful, nice acidity on the finish. Needs a few more months in the bottle to come together. 85% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo and 5% Merlot.
Kazoku is a saison with plum. Its effervescence and underlying tartness have one job: keep the plum front and centre. Every detail of the fruit is represented, from the lightly tannic skin and the sweetness of the flesh in the aroma to the gentle tartness of a ripe late autumn Niagara plum on the palate. It is basically magic, which is what we have come to expect from Godspeed.
Agreeable cherry and light herbal notes on the nose, with cherry and blackberry flavours, moderate tannins and good overall balance. Better without the touch of residual sweetness.
Dark pink. Intense, fruity nose (strawberry, watermelon). With more body than most rosés, it has a balanced acidity. Dry but ripe enough to taste almost slightly sweet. Equally good as an aperitif or with simple dishes.
Effusive balsamic and oaky aromas. Rich and berry-laden, with a mid-palate of vanilla-spiked red cherry flavour. Mouth-puckering tannins, yet elegantly textured. Complex finish with liquorice and cigar box. Great value for a wine with such aged characteristics. A pleasure with hearty tapas.
Tasted in February, when no longer “Nouveau.” Deeply coloured pinkish-purple wine comes in a colourful flower-decorated bottle. Big nose of sweet hard strawberry candies, banana and sweet tea. On the palate tastes like fruity (raspberry, strawberry) tea, invites quaffing. Serve cool, drink soon.
