The 2022 Allan Scott - Sauvignon Blanc is a clean and fresh example of Marlborough with the bright aromatics and flavors we’ve come to expect from this region. An easy drinking style with fresh fruit for enjoying in its youth
"Mount Hermon Red exhibits fruit notes of berries and cherries, along with nuances of Mediterranean herbs, chocolate and orange zest. This medium-bodied red blend is vibrant and flavorful, making it a great everyday drinking wine. Ready to enjoy upon release, Mount Hermon Red will remain in excellent drinking condition for some three years from vintage. Give this versatile wine a go with grilled lamb chops, hearty vegetarian moussaka, or a plate of assorted cheeses." —winemakerBlend: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot
The 2019 Côtes Du Rhône will be a no-brainer purchase. This Syrah-heavy red has lots of blackberry, bouquet garni, and peppery notes in a ripe, full-bodied, textured style. It’s well worth buying and drinking over the coming 5-7 years.
