An excellent example of a medium bodied red that shows great intensity without the weight. Lovely mix of truffle, black pepper and minty characters. It’s all class!

An elegant interpretation of a cabernet blend. A classic that will age beautifully. Has overtly minty/spicy dark fruits and great tannin structure.

A very good solid, well made and very youthful wine. Has an abundance of lovely cassis and tobacco like varietal fruit characters. All it needs is some more time to open up.
