Bright red cherry and plum flavours, spice, soft tannins, nice texture, good length, quite approachable. Elegant enough to pair with white meats, but enough structure and depth to match with lamb.
This Washington State Cab is dense ruby in colour with that characteristic Cabernet nose of blackcurrant, cedar and vanilla oak. It’s medium-bodied, dry, well-structured with good fruit intensity in mid-palate.
Dense purple colour that stains the glass. Cedary, toasty, blackcurrant bouquet. Medium to full bodied. Juicy and fruity blackcurrant and black plum flavours with well-integrated oak and ripe tannins. Great value.
Shows subtle green-apple scents with a trace of mineral and a hint of spice. Fine green fruit is enveloped in creamy smoothness in the mouth. Harmonious, seamless style finishing with an agreeable touch of gravelly mineral.
Up to 30% of the fruit is whole bunch pressed with 20% aged in ceramic. From the extremely warm 2016 vintage, this is the most concentrated version of the Courtney I have tasted, with expressive, penetrating and uber-ripe aromas of black cherry, red plum, rhubarb, raspberry bramble, red currants, earth and spice notes. Such a magical wine on the palate — it has depth, complexity, a full range of rich red and dark fruits and integrated spice notes with plush tannins and enough acidity to keep it fresh on a long, long finish.
Golden yellow. Floral nose with ripe yellow fruits and fine oaky notes of butter. Full and fatty on the palate, with seductive floral and pure fruity flavours. Long finish, very elegant.
Corbières in southern France offers good-value reds. This blend of Syrah and Grenache is dense purple in colour with a nose of white pepper and boysenberry. It’s sweet and juicy initially on the palate but finishes dry with liquorice and herbal notes.
