Woodsy and earthy aromas of Douglas Fir, wet slate and pencil shavings complement the beautiful blackberry, dark plum, black cherry, wild blueberry, blood orange peel and bergamot notes. These aromas echo on the palate which also showcases wild strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, cherry tobacco, anise, pink peppercorns and cedar. Balanced acidity and tannin allow the dark fruits to linger on a long and lively finish. We look forward to learning about and enjoying this wine for many years to come.

Aromas of blackcurrants, leather, cloves, mulberries and spices. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity that lead to a tightly wound but generous mouthfeel. Although drinking well now, this will be at its best in five years. Drink or hold.— J.S

This soft and charming blend of Cabernet and Cabernet Franc delivers aromas of blackberry, raspberry and purple flowers on the nose, while the palate delivers layers of black fruit, herb mélange, baking spices and plush tannin, balanced by a wave of acid through the middle. — Tom Capo

Sleek and tensile, this relies on chalky minerality that underpins its bitter cherry and red currant fruit. Ends with cedar, tea and dried rose petal notes.— James Molesworth
