The ’10 Cab Sauv boasts an impressive black/purple colour and a fabulous nose of plum, blackberry, boysenberry, toast, mint, spice and graphite. Full-bodied, there is a great mid-palate and superb length. My suggestion would to be hold on for a couple of years, then drink until 2030.
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.
Light ruby. The nose is discreet but shows complexity in its delicate fruity notes, subtle oak and hints of tar. Firm on the palate, full-bodied — even powerful. The tannins are not too aggressive and in balance with the fruity extract. Nice long finish. Will hold many years.
Clear medium-deep yellow. Eruptive nose of lime, mango and watermelon. Light-bodied and bone-dry with high acidity. Flavours of lemon and mixed tropical fruits. Forget Gewürztraminer; this is the wine for old-style Cantonese Chinese food. Drink as young as possible.
Precise and focused with fresh notes of green apple, honey and fresh bread. Linear and bright with a lifted acidity on the finish. 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier.
Pinot Noir performs well in this hilly region south of the Po River, whether in sparkling, red or even as this white wine. Attractive feint cherry and herb scents, along with this style’s trademark firm acidity, fresh white raspberry and cinnamon flavours and very clean finish. Ceviche would pair well.
A Pinot Gris with flavour. Straw colour with a green tint; a minerally, peach nose with citrus notes; medium-bodied, dry, well-extracted peach and nectarine flavours with a long, clean finish.
