Add to Wishlist

Ironstone Vineyards, Ready, but will keep,

Deep ruby in colour with purple tints, this wine displays notes of sweet spice, mocha and dark black fruits of plum, black cherries and strawberries. Vanilla spice, liquorice and chocolate are balanced with ripe, chewy tannins and a juicy core. Drink now to 2020.

2016 Frog's Leap, Zinfandel, Napa Valley, California

Add to Wishlist

Frog's Leap, Ready, but will keep,

This Zinfandel from our friends at Frog’s Leap is rich and concentrated, with black and redcurrant fruit layered with red plum and spice. The nose offers bramble fruit and hints of red liquorice, sweet spice and a lively core. The 2016 vintage was exceptional in Napa and this is drinking beautifully now, but will only improve with time in bottle.

2016 Au Bon Climat, Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County, California

Add to Wishlist

Au Bon Climat, Ready, but will keep,

Founded in 1982, Au Bon Climat produces internationally-recognised Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from grapes grown in California’s Santa Barbara County. “ABC”, as the property is more commonly known, has won universal acclaim for its wines thanks to Jim “Wild Boy” Clendenen, its winemaker and owner.

This is a nod to Burgundy but with lots of ripe, bright New World fruit. It has a cool nose of orchard fruit with hints of spice and a light mineral note, while on the palate classic flavours of apple, citrus and vanilla prevail with a rich, buttery finish. Drink now to 2026.

2016 Birichino, Bechthold Cinsault, Old Vines, Mokelumne River, Lodi

Add to Wishlist

Birichino, Ready, but will keep,

These “centenarian” vines were planted in 1886 – and while they use most of the fruit to make their delicious Vin Gris Rosé, since 2012 they’ve also been making a red. At 12.5 percent alcohol, this wine has incredible restraint but with an intensity that holds its own. There are notes of violet, pomegranate, wild flowers and cranberries, followed by a savoury, chalky tannin profile.

2016 Birichino, Pétulant Naturel Malvasia Bianca, Monterey, CA

Add to Wishlist

Birichino, Drink now,

This is a cleverly-made, naturally cloudy “Pétulant” Pétillant Naturel from the innovative Birichino. Based on their Malvasia Bianca, some of the juice is held back from the vinification process and then added back to a proportion before bottling it with a little added yeast, sparking a secondary fermentation in bottle – producing the all-important bubbles. The contact of the wine with its lees in bottle brings an added dimension to the flavour profile, adding light floral undertones and a hint of biscuit to the generous fruit profile of lime, green apple and yellow plum. Wonderful as an aperitif, it will prove an interesting match for lightly spiced dishes.

A nod to Burgundy but with lots of ripe, bright New World fruit, this Pinot Noir has a cool nose of strawberry and ripe cherry fruit with warming hints of sweet spice. On the palate, it is fleshy and generous with lots of ripe red berry fruit with fine, polished tannins and a lovely freshness on the generously long finish. Drink now to 2026.

2016 DeSante, L'Atelier, Napa Valley, California, USA

Add to Wishlist

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

David and Katharine DeSante are a husband and wife winemaking duo that work with amazing old vines and field blends from the Napa Valley. Their 1,000-case production is very small scale and their attention to detail is impeccable, working organically and sustainably with all their vineyards.

The nose offers aromas of orange blossom and white stone-fruits, combined with fennel and citrus aromas. There is a saline core to the wine, with nervy acidity and a waxy texture on the palate. Lemon verbena and apricot notes continue on the finish. Drink now to 2020.

2016 Andrew Will, Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington State

Add to Wishlist

Andrew Will Winery, Ready, but will keep,

Three quarters of the fruit for this wine comes from the Two Blondes vineyard, the rest from Champoux. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, it sees no new oak, but spends 14 months in older barrels. It offers classic Cabernet aromas of cassis and black cherry with attractive sweet spice and herbal notes. It has a firm, powdery tannin profile with vibrant acidity and density on the mid-palate.

2016 Birichino, Saint Georges Pinot Noir Central Coast, California

Add to Wishlist

Birichino, Ready, but will keep,

Named after two Georges – Jr and the late Sr – with whom Birichino have worked for over 20 years, this Pinot Noir is made with fruit from various sites. The site owned and farmed by George Jr today (and originally planted for Josh Jensen at Calera) adds a botanical spicy element, while grapes from southern Monterey add a fleshy, juicy note. A touch of fruit from their Lilo site adds – in winemaker John’s words – “class”, and some Antel fruit “for a bit of guts”. Together they make a delicious Pinot – an “honest” wine, as John describes it. With a bright, red-berry fruit profile, the wine has classic New World Pinot perfume. It’s floral and spicy, but with a restraint that is typical of Volnay.

2016 Lingua Franca, Avni Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon, USA

Add to Wishlist

Lingua Franca, Ready, but will keep,

The 2015 vintage was Lingua Franca’s first, but it has already established itself as one of the leading Oregon wine producers, thanks to a collaboration between well-known Burgundian winemaker Dominique Lafon and highly regarded American Master Sommelier Larry Stone. Based in the Eola- Amity Hills AVA, the winery currently has its own vineyards but also buys high-quality fruit from the Willamette Valley.

Pale ruby in colour, this has a bright perfume of raspberries, cranberries and jasmine tea. The silky texture on the palate is balanced by refreshing and lively acidity, as well as well-integrated finegrained tannins and intensity of flavour. There is a minerality on the finish that is reminiscent of Burgundy, highlighting the wine’s innate quality. Drink now to 2027.

2016 Bedrock Wine Co, Evangelho Vineyard Heritage, Contra Costa County

Add to Wishlist

Bedrock Wine Co., Ready, but will keep,

Morgan and Chris call this their “unicorn vineyard”. Planted in 1890 on its own roots, the vines are planted on the deep sand banks of the Sacremento River Delta in Contra Costa County. The field-blended blocks are co-fermented and likely to contain 60 percent Zinfandel (with 35 percent Mataro, some Carignan, Palomino and some “odds and ends”).
Classic Zinfandel aromas of dried red berry fruits and black tea are supported by liquorice spice and almost garrigue-like herbs. There is lively acidity, and a density and concentration that can only be attributed to the old vines from which the grapes are sourced.

Lingua Franca, Ready, but will keep,

AVNI Chardonnay combines fruit from predominantly Nekia soils in Salem’s Bunker Hill, Eola-Amity Hills including Lingua Franca Estate, Yamhill-Carlton, with a small contribution from Laubejac Vineyard near Monmouth, in Willakenzie soils. The aroma is complex with layers of mineral, smoke, herbs. The wine is silky, racy and complex on the palate. A lasting finish of citrus, pear, and white flowers concludes with flinty, mouth-watering minerality.

Lingua Franca, Ready, but will keep,

Gentle and inviting aromas of black raspberries and blue, berry fruit, with a hint of oak on the nose. Lovely fruit on the palate, quite savoury with that same red and blue fruit character, crisp acidity and fine, malleable tannins complete the picture on this eminently drinkable Pinot. This would be perfect with roast white meats and full-flavoured fish and vegetable dishes.

2016 Bedrock Wine Co., Old Vine Zinfandel, Sonoma Valley, CA

Add to Wishlist

Bedrock Wine Co., For laying down,

With an average age of 81 years, when it says “old vine”, Bedrock means it! The fruit comes mainly from the Bedrock vineyard, as well as Teldeschi Ranch, Sodini Ranch, Nervo Ranch, Katushas, Evangelho, Esola, Casa Santinamaria and Story vineyard. This wine’s inherent quality is thanks to the quality of the fruit at source, while the various terroirs add to the complexity. The great concentration and structure displayed here will ensure this Zinfandel ages beautifully.
