WINES TO TAKE HOME
Cabernet-Sauvignon 2021 - £23.50
Cassis, red and black pepper, and spices. Beautiful mineral notes and integrated oak vanilla, caramel, and smoke. The mature and soft tannins are round with a fresh acidity. “Notes of honey and beeswax. It has herbal and berry fruit and is fresh, spicy and peppery, with a medium to full-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins.” (92RP)
~
Semillon 2021 - £17.50
White flowers and honey, with herbal notes and tropical fruits. The oak ageing lending coconut and hints of smoke, as well big volume and softness on the palate. “Very good freshness and integrated acidity, with notes of apples and citrus.” (93RP)
~
Cabernet Franc 2020 - £23
Spicy and fruity aromas. Bursting with red fruits dominated with raspberries and cherries, hints of pink and black pepper. Firm tannins give the mouthfeel a silky texture, with a long and persistent finish.
“Spicy and peppery. It's herbal with good varietal character, classical, combining ripeness and good freshness.” (92RP)
~
Malbec 2020 - £22
Black plum, ripe raspberry, and violet aromas. The wine is full-bodied, dense, deep and chewy with flavors of black raspberry, plums, roasted herbs, and mint on the finish. (92RP)
