Very pleasant, with a slight greenish tinge, appealing citrus and dill aroma. Moderate intensity, along with lifted acidity on the palate, medium bodied, very appealing in a direct, bright, lively manner with a refreshingly dry finish. Aged four months in stainless steel.
Very well extracted with an opaque core, carrying concentrated aromas of blackberry, cassis, olive tapenade, dark roast coffee, and dried herbs. Weighty and full, displays purity and precision with well balanced with extended length on the back palate, along with firm tannins. Very good aging potential.
Deeply extracted, bold, densely layered aromas of cassis, blackberry and toasty oak. Ample weight on the palate, nice concentration, full, round, and well structured. The black fruit aroma carries through to the palate, alongside well-integrated high quality oak notes. The finish is long with tannins that are ripe but add an element of grip.
Aromas of jasmine and white cherries beckon, leading to flavors of blackberries and spiced earth, Italian herbs, and black olive framed on a mineral base. Tannins purr, silky and sensuous, edging into a chalky finish. A blend of 53% Touriga Nacional, 40% Touriga Franca, with some Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, and Alicante Bouschet.
Startling acidity carries an array of bright flavors. Notes of red plum, spiced cherry, hibiscus, and sweet earth are generous within an earthy core.
Just-ripened grapefruit alongside a garden of basil, chervil, and tarragon. Bright and crisp with a finish of salted green apple.
Those who love ultra-fresh Sauvignon Blanc when oysters come into prime season in late fall winter should look to Southern Hemisphere releases such as this. It displays the classic Marlborough profile at a very attractive price, with aromatic and flavor notes of lemon, pink grapefruit, and capsicum. A soft kiss of sweetness buffers its abundant acidity, keeping it zesty but not sour.
A brilliant wine, beautifully crafted from start to finish. Medium deep red color, wonderfully aromatic with lifted red fruit, ripe strawberry and raspberry notes along with a savory dried herb note. Ample weight on the palate, round, seamlessly smooth, with bright acidity to keep it fresh on the palate. The oak is present just enough to add complexity and nuance. Sublime, refined, elegant and immediately appealing from the first sip. Aged nine months in French oak.
