This lightly wood-aged wine’s toasty character is finely balanced with tropical and citrus fruits. Full and ripe, the wine has both weight and a concentrated, rich aftertaste.

There’s ripe fruit, flavors of dried fruits and black plums and some solid tannins. This is an attractively balanced wine, which will offer some great pleasure in another year. The finish is all about vivid fruit and acidity.

Rich, solid, with ripe spice and black plum flavors. The considerable richness is balanced with dark tannins, which give a sense of fine-grained texture to this solid wine.

Chocolate and bitter cherries dominate this full-on wine, packed with spice and toasty wood flavors. In mouthfeel, it is very rich, smooth, dense and velvety at the same time.

This finely balanced wine has richness and a crisp citrusy character. It has a fine bite of lemon zest, plus concentrated herbaceousness. Screwcap.

This grassy, very herbaceous wine is all crisp green fruits. Touched by a creamy texture under a layer of freshness, it shows some good weight and structure. There is light wood that rounds it all out.

Wood aging has given this wine some roundness and softness without taking away from the intense grassy, grapefruit flavors of Sauvignon Blanc. It has good richness as well as taut fruitiness.
