Collemattoni 2018 Brunello Di Montal
100% Sangiovese
92 Points Vinous: “Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine”.

Collemattoni 2019/21 Rosso Di Montalcino
92 Points Vinous: One of our favourites…pure, delicious Sangiovese from a classic Brunello producer. Meaty, smoky, dense and tannic with aromas and flavours of dried cherries, earth and violets. On the palate, it is dense and broad with flavours of cherry, earth and that telltale Montalcino terroir. With all the hallmarks of Montalcino, and very well made, it represents fantastic value.

Saint Desirat 2022 Ardeche Syrah
100% Syrah. Sustainably Farmed. Lots of characteristic Northern Rhone black pepper spice and savoury complexity. Sourced from vineyards just outside Saint-Joseph, hence the great price.
It's done in a juicy style, offering sappy spice-laced berry flavours on the palate. The spicy note recurs on the long, smooth finish. An exceptional value that is drinking superbly now.
Springfield 2019 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, 'Whole Berry' from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
Marsan 2019 Cadillac Cotes De Bordeaux
Wine has been produced at this family-owned estate since the 1700s. The wine is Terra Vitis certified - an impressive achievement for such a value-priced Bordeaux.
It has red cherries and violet aromas that unfurl nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, fine structure and a gently but insistent grip on the finish. This is a terrific value from a top vintage.
