This shows dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of leather. The palate is plush, with lots of sweet fruit character and mouth-coating yet lustrous tannins. Creamy with a long, persistent, flavorful finish. JS
An elegant red, with a dark fruit core of boysenberry coulis, black plum reduction and dried fig buoyed by fresh, well-cut acidity. Delivers an appealing range of star anise, mocha, dried mint and rose hip notes that add detail and complexity, while lightly chalky tannins firm the graphite- and spice-laced finish. WS

A stylish red, fragrant with milled pepper and Earl Grey. There’s a zesty tension to the focus, with fine, taut tannins and lively acidity driving the well-meshed notes of crushed boysenberry, red currant, mocha, licorice root and loamy earth. WS
