A wonderful expression of Sangiovese. Aromas of cherry, plum, blueberry, spice and mushroom. Velvety texture, integrated and with good depth, and a long finish with some black pepper. Decanted for two hours, worth the wait!

A rich and luscious Amarone made using traditional production methods. Great aromas, including blackberry, dried cherry, leather and a hint of tobacco. Rich, smooth, and juicy, this wine is well structured and has good depth and a long finish.

This is a bold Aussie Shiraz with aromas of filed berries, licorice, and hints of leather and some meaty notes. A savoury wine, with black fruit flavours, chewy tannins, and a nice finish that has smoke, coffee, and spice.

A decent California Cab - aromas include blackberry, mocha, and some red cherry. Smooth mouthfeel, lacking a bit of depth, but has some spice and tobacco on a medium finish. Would pair well with a juicy burger!

Mike scored this wine: 86/100

A crisp and refreshing NZ SB, if not a touch too sweet. Aromas of gooseberry, pineapple, and a hint of lime. The palate has tropical fruits, with some grapefruit, and there's a medium finish.
