Cellar/Tasting Notes
Good full red. Pure but restrained aromas of raspberry, minerals, white pepper, rose petal and herbs; about as Chambolle-like as any New Zealand pinot I've tasted this year. Juicy, tangy and pristine, with lovely sappy lift to the red fruit and spice flavors. Offers a compelling combination of..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Medium-dark to dark ruby. Drop-dead gorgeous aromas of cherry, herbs, and spice box spill from the glass. On the palate, full bodied with an explosion of red cherry fruit. Suave tannins build through the long finish. A remarkable wine combining both power and elegance.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Here the high alcohol does not obscure the layered fruits and overall complexity of this exceptional Cabernet. Thick, ripe and richly endowed, it keeps its black fruit, ripe tannins and liquorous barrel notes all in proportion, and pulls in top flight fruit from Champoux, Sagemoor, the estate..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An exceptionally fresh nose of cool raspberry, dark cherry and earth hints merge seamlessly into rich full-bodied flavors that possess good muscle and excellent volume while evidencing lovely mineral hints on the moderately firm and youthfully austere finish.

"... lovely sweet fruit at the finish. Light jam and chocolate character. Good finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright with berry, cherry and spice flavors, this red is elegant, with a firm base of tannins for support. Tar and earth hints arrive on the finish. Drink now through 2018."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2008 Numanthia spent 18 months in new French oak. It sports an inviting nose of pain grille, graphite, Asian spices, licorice, lavender, and blackberry. In the glass it reveals its voluptuous proportions, savory flavors, and outstanding volume."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Tightly framed, pure and focused, with vibrant blackberry, blueberry and wild berry notes, gaining depth and maintaining focus on the long, persistent finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"I was totally struck by the 2009 Grenache L’Ange Rouge, a wine that captivates all the senses. I hope readers can appreciate just how rare it is to encounter a Central Coast Grenache with this much sheer finesse. The purity of the fruit is simply striking. The 2009 clocks in at 15.8% alcohol, none..
