2010	Clava Coastal Reserve, Pinot Noir	Chile » Casablanca Valley
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Pinot Noir, Drink now, 14.5% alc. Chile's Casablanca Valley produces some of the country's most elegant wines, in both red and white. The Clava estate makes a most appealing interpretation of Pinot Noir with cherry fruit combining with a smoky savoury note and a little oak infl uence. Not a full-bodied wine but showing good ...

SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Sangiovese, Ready, but will keep, 12.5% alc. The summer may have been too hot for some Tuscan grapes in 2007, but up among the Rufina hills east of Florence, with their heavy clay soils, all was just fine. Framed by two years in large slavonian botte, this traditional tuscan blend of Sangiovese (90%), Canaiolo and Colorino, is charmingly ... MORE

2010	Morgon, Vieilles Vignes, Château Grange Cochard	France » Beaujolais » Morgon
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Gamay, Ready, but will improve, 13% alc. This delicious old vine cuvée is classic Beaujolais, from its brisk purple colour onwards. It is stricter than the voluptuous 2009, though still surging with fruit, abetted by a lovely touch of pepper at the back. Drink 2012-2015. (Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy ... MORE

2009	Churton Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand	New Zealand » Marlborough
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium Bodied, Dry, White, Sauvignon Blanc, Ready, but will keep, 13.5% alc. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is still ragingly popular and is widely regarded as one of the new ‘classics’. This New Zealand Sauvignon shows a zesty gooseberry grassiness and a gently floral note that stops it falling into the trap of being overtly herbaceous. Winemaker Sam Weaver is ... MORE

2010	Albariño, DO Rías Baixas, Pazo de Señoráns	Spain » Galicia » Rias Baixas
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium Bodied, Dry, White, Albariño, Drink now, 13.5% alc. Frighteningly fashionable, Albarino is now the white of choice for the smart fish restaurants of London (and elsewhere); it combines aromatics, spice and power in a manner sometimes redolent of Grüner Veltliner. Pazo de Senorans is now seen as the very best Galician winery. ... MORE

2010	Savennieres, Clos du Papillon, Domaine des Forges	France » Loire » Anjou-Saumur » Savennieres
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Chenin Blanc, Ready, but will improve, Organic in Conversion, 14.5% alc. It may say 'demi-sec ' on the label but the emphasis I feel should be on the 'sec'. Clear cut like glass, there's a white flower ('fleur de lys'?), still steaming baked apple a-peel to the nose, along with a wax and flint purity - in fact there's just too ... MORE

2009	Riesling Urgestein, Hiedler	Austria » Kamptal
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Riesling, Ready, but will keep, 13.5% alc. From the Loiserberg site across the valley, the clean, fresh, lovely floral & apricot character reflects the volcanic nature of the soils while presenting an earlier drinking, uncomplicated fruit forward style. Drinking now. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer)

2006	Rasteau, Cuvée Confiance, Domaine la Soumade	France » Rhône » Rasteau
SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, Ready, but will keep, 14% alc. 'Cuvée Confiance’ is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from 100+ year-old vines. One of the top cuvées from this highly regarded producer, this wine is big in every dimension - intense aromas of black cherry, cassis and barbecued meat, concentrated ... MORE
