Capcanes 'Lasendal' Garnacha Blend 2015

'Lasendal' means 'path', indicating the site halfway up the mountain to the towering Cabrida vineyards (Cabrida being the nimble mountain goat going up the high mountain passes where the old limestone Cabrida vineyards reside). Cabridas little sister spends 9 months in US barriques. Garnacha with 15% Syrah. This is extremely elegant and restrained Garnacha.

Chateau Mont-Redon Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016

This well-known, large (over 250 acres) Chateauneuf du Pape estate has produced some of the greatest Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted, including their 1949 (one of the top 25 wines of my lifetime), 1955 and 1961. This visit was the first time I have had a chance to taste these wines in many years, and it appears a younger generation is making a comeback with their offerings from Lirac and Chateauneuf du Pape.

2016 is a blend of … more

Chiara Boschis E. Pira Barolo Via Nuova 2011

"The 2011 Barolo Via Nuova is once again fabulous. A wine that brings together the very best of the modern and traditional schools, the 2011 is all about balance. Hints of lavender, sage, violets, dark cherries, plums and new leather add nuance in a pure, crystalline Barolo endowed with tons of nuance allied to a vertical sense of structure. The sensual voluptuousness of the vintage softens some of the contours, which only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Although it … more

Chrismont La Zona Prosecco NV

"It's grown at about 300 metres above sea level on vines that are now nearly ten years old. It now comes in a proprietary 'King Valley' prosecco bottle, which is lovely to see - a real sign of confidence/harmony for the region. Reckon they are bang on with this release. It's fine and crisp but not at all lacking in flavour. Red apples galore. Some bready complexity. More than an ounce of finesse. More-ish lisp of fruit sweetness. Tick tick … more

Escarpment Chardonnay 2015

100% grown from Escarpment’s Te Muna Road site.

The summer allowed a smaller crop than usual to ripen slowly, producing powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone which combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to create Burgundian inspired Chardonnay. Flavours are reminiscent of white stone fruit with delightful soft texture ensuring a long commanding finish. Partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring has enhanced the texture, complexity and mouth feel allowing it to match most entrée dishes and seafood.

It is … more
