Reviews

Expressive and lush nose of creamy berries, dark cherries, vanilla, cassis and sweet oak spices. Full body with fine, creamy tannins. Rich and full of generous creamy berries and an equally demonstrative and dense finish with excellent length. Better from 2025.

Inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dark chocolate, black licorice, toasted cedar and bark. Some earthy undertones, too. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and succulent with firm, velvety tannins. Chalky and earthy in the lingering finish. Better after 2025.

Aromas of ripe dark berries, grilled thyme, cured meat and dark spiced with some hints of cedar and moist earth. Full-bodied, deep and layered with firm, lightly chewy tannins. Powerful and persistent with a long finish. Better after 2025.

Notes of red and dark berries, sweet spices, cocoa and wet earth. Firm and structured with medium to full body and velvety texture. Lingering, dark-fruited finish. Better after 2025.

Blackcurrants, blackberries, walnuts and ground spices on the nose. A little earthy, too. Sleek and refined with medium to full body. Tannins are fine-grained and melted into the wine. Smooth and even with a lingering finish. Better from 2026.

A solid red with cherries, violets and earth on the nose and palate. Medium body with chewy tannins. Herbs and wild berries on the palate and a savory finish. Try after two to three years to soften the tannins.

This concentrated wine is firm in structure and not too full bodied, deep in black cherries, cranberries and black currants. It's an old school, agile Cabernet that needs time to be fully enjoyable with a lamb chop or skirt steak. Best from 2027. - Jim Gordon

Medium salmon in hue, the nose of this rosé offers rhubarb, rose water and a savory edge. It is round on the palate with a midpalate of sweet spices. Its pithy and saline finish will leave you craving another glass to be enjoyed either ocean side or by the pool till sunset. — Anna-Christina Cabrales
