Full ruby. Seductive nose with delicate fruity notes and well-dosed oak. More elegant than powerful, it is medium-bodied yet compact. Drinks beautifully now with a few years ahead of it. Second wine of Château de Sales.
Dense purple colour with a concentrated nose of blackcurrant, cedar and vanilla oak; full-bodied and opulent with ripe blackcurrant flavours. Rich and satisfying. Drinking beautifully now, but will last a decade.
Expressive aromas of wild strawberries, black cherries, wet earth and rose petals with supple tannins. I love the fact that this wine is only 12.5%. Charming on its own but a delicious match with grilled salmon or roasted chicken.
Clear very deep blackcurrant. Medium-intensity nose of cassis, cedar and instant coffee. Fresh-tasting blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, with soft tannins on a very long finish. Feminine and classy, drink over the next couple of years.
Deep ruby colour. Ripe red berries with spice and balsamic notes. Firm acidity, well-structured tannins and powerful intensity on a full-bodied frame. Long finish with balsamic notes. 100% Sangiovese. Cellar for 5 to 10 years to enhance its elegance.
100 percent Pinot Noir from Clam Bay, Sea Star and Saturna: red berries and red apple hints with an entry of juicy strawberry, cranberry and raspberry, underpinned by an appealing savoury edge. Light- to medium-bodied with supple tannins wrapped in bright acidity. A fitting tribute to the late Jean Luc Bertrand, who commenced planting the Saturna vineyard in 1995.
A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and the lesser-known local variety Ciliegiolo, this interesting wine shows pronounced dark cherry, metallic mineral, graphite and a whiff of clove on the nose. Appetizingly bitter black cherry kicks in on the palate with saliva-inducing acidity and dry tannic grip. Good depth of flavour and solid structure makes it a useful pairing with robust Italian red meat dishes.
