Selection
Revana 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Ripe black raspberry leads a supple, concentrated palate, deepening into coffee, anise, spice and smoke. Subtle herbs and an iron-like mineral note bring savoury definition to the powerful fruit. Vertically structured yet polished, it carries dark berry and roasted tones through a long, composed finish. Decant and serve with grilled beef or lamb.
Macauley 2012 Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley
Black fruit and cherry rise from the glass with wet stone, blackberry jam, raspberry and finely judged oak spice. The palate is warm and viscous yet remarkably balanced, bringing ripe cherry, clove and layered spice into focus. Stately, refined tannins give the Cabernet shape and carry its dark fruit through a long, composed finish.
Hartford Court 2021 Land’s Edge Pinot Noir
Red and black cherry open with pomegranate and dried rose petal. The palate layers dark berries, plum and licorice over an elegant, polished texture, with enough depth to feel complete without becoming heavy. Mocha and mineral notes linger on the finish. Refined but generous, it suits roast duck, salmon, mushrooms or herb-roasted chicken.
Opus One 2009 Napa Valley
Deep garnet and finely layered, with redcurrant, baked plum, dried blackberry and stewed cherry joined by dark chocolate, espresso and sweet spice. The palate is silky but substantial, carrying ripe fruit through polished tannins and a savoury mineral line. Balanced and persistent rather than heavy, it opens well with air and is an excellent partner for roast beef or lamb.
50th Parallel Estate 2019 Chardonnay
Narrative 2021 Two Pinots
Bright lemon, grapefruit and delicate white flowers open a clear, lifted nose, with crushed rock adding a flinty edge.

Concrete ageing lends quiet texture without dulling the freshness, leaving a precise mineral finish.
Pearl Morissette 2019 Flammerole Chardonnay
Sperling Vineyards 2017 Chardonnay
Blue Mountain 2022 Pinot Gris
Citrus, mandarin and blossom open a bright, expressive nose. The palate is richer and denser than the aromas suggest, layering orange and lemon fruit over a clean line of acidity. Apple and gentle spice emerge toward the finish, which remains crisp, balanced and persistent, giving the wine both immediate freshness and quiet depth.
Orofino 2021 Orange Skin-Contact Muscat
Frind Estate Winery 2024 Midnight
Dark-fruited and generous, with plum, blackcurrant and blueberry layered over coffee, cedar and dark chocolate. Cocoa, smoke and a quiet leathery note deepen the palate, while cherry brings a fresher counterpoint. The texture is smooth and rounded, carrying savoury fruit through a composed finish. Pair with grilled beef, braised short ribs, roast mushrooms or firm cheese.
Sage Hills 2022 Second Pick Merlot
Ripe plum and dark cherry give the palate a generous core, balanced by fresh acidity and a lightly savoury edge. Partial whole-cluster fermentation adds lift, while twelve days on skins and seven months in neutral barrel build supple texture without overt oak. Unfined and unfiltered, it finishes smoothly with measured structure.
40 Knots 2019 Gamay
Sao Joao 1997 Porta Dos Cavaleiros Mg
A mature Portuguese red with dried cherry, leather and stewed fruit, followed by game, earth and gentle spice. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with settled acidity and elegant tannins supporting its savoury character. The finish is clean and composed rather than forceful, pairing especially well with roast chicken, coq au vin, mushrooms or slow-cooked pork.
Rocim 2021 Fresh From Amphora Nat’Cool Red 1 L
Light ruby in colour, with fragrant cherry, pomegranate and rose over earthy, savoury notes. The palate is dry, delicate and gently textured, with bright acidity keeping the fruit lively. Traditional clay-vessel ageing adds a subtle rustic edge without weighing down the wine, and the finish stays easygoing. Serve lightly chilled with pizza, grilled sausages, roast vegetables or tandoori chicken.
Luís Seabra 2020 Xisto Cru Tinto
Dark ruby, with ripe cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry framed by violet, green herbs and a thread of smoke. Lively acidity cuts through the red-fruited core, giving the palate energy and precision. Forest floor and black pepper add savoury detail, while flinty, wet-stone minerality carries the finely structured finish.
Raimat 2024 Albariño
White peach, star fruit and apricot fill a juicy, fresh palate. A pithy tangerine twist sharpens the finish, keeping the ripe fruit lively and clean. Mostly stainless-steel fermentation preserves clarity, while a small portion rested in wood with regular lees stirring for added texture. Bright, uncomplicated and versatile, it works especially well with fragrant curries, grilled prawns or citrus-dressed salads.
Menade 2021 Rueda Verdejo
A bright, dry Verdejo with white orchard fruit, fennel, bay leaf and wild herbs over a clear mineral note. The palate has good texture and volume, balanced by fresh acidity and a subtle varietal bitterness. Long and composed on the finish, it works well with grilled fish, shellfish, roast vegetables or dishes built around green herbs.
Mannara 2022 Pinot Grigio Sicilia
Lemon zest, green apple and pear lead a bright aromatic profile, with subtle white florals adding lift.
