    • ‘Molino Loco,’ Monastrell, Bodegas Castaño, Yecla, 2011, Spain
      Monastrell in Spain, but Mourvedre to the rest of us – focussed & forward in style yet accessible – it’s a sturdy fellow, full of dark cherry fruit and supple tannins.’

    • Calbuco, Cabernet/Merlot, Central Valley 2011, Chile
      ‘Stonking Cabernet tempered by 20% Merlot. The south American red wine juggernaut has no peer at this level. Oodles of fruit & flavour, with lingering, licorice and blackcurrants on the palate. An soul-warmng red to ‘flumpf’ the spirit during this cool, dark season.’

    • Montepulciano d’Abruzzo ‘Il Faggio’ 2011, Italy
      ‘Il Faggio is an inspiring expression of what the Montepulciano grape can be and so often isn’t. The combination of diligent grape selection & wine-making delivers depth of fruit in buckets, chocolatey spice and supple tannins – this has to be an Abruzzi benchmark where they’ve got every element spot on.’

    • ‘Punto Final,’ Bodegas Renacer, Malbec, Mendoza, 2010, Argentina

    • Allegrini, Valpolicella, Veneto, 2011, Italy
      ‘Their best yet? The decision to move to stelvin is the sort of stance you’d expect from such a pioneering family – fresh & juicy, truly stunning summer red.’
    • £23.00
    • Villa Tonino, ‘Baglio Curatolo,’ Syrah, Sicily, 2008, Italy
      ‘Oooooh! Sicilian syrah – it doesn’t get much sexier than this – while this estate’s pedigree lies in its production of Marsala, the Syrah grape’s natural affinity for warm climate nurture is borne out by this magnificent effort – with the vineyard altitude at 600m, the hot days are tempered with cool evenings so the sweet blueberry fruit and a warm, spiced mid-palate is complemented by rich yet supple & elegant length..’

    • Côtes de Roussillon, ‘Chimères,’ Chateau St. Roch, 2008, France
      ‘The hot climes of France’s most southern viticultural outpost always deliver in the power department. A syrah, grenache, carignan blend from very old vines, this wine is deep, dark & brooding. Angular and focused in a classic old world way, a candidate for ambassador of the region. Very French, and very, very good!’
    • £26.00
    • Kim Crawford, Pinot Noir, Marlborough, 2010, New Zealand
      ‘All the hallmarks of a classic Marlborough Pinot Noir are here - aromatic, sweet plummy fruit & supple tannins assure balance throughout, It represents terrific value, and understandably he’s become a household name in NZ.’

    • Jester, Shiraz, Mitolo, McLaren Vale, 2009, Australia
      ‘Delicious, sweet cassis and damson fruit explode out of the glass – it’s so dense & rich - layers of rich, ripe dark fruit bound across the palate with a thick, velvety texture – it’s a masculine style that means business – as per its namesake.’
    • £26.00
    • Fleurie, Domaine de Gry-Sablon, Beaujolais, 2010, France ‘A cracking effort from the Beaujolais’ most famous village. At ‘cru’ level, we’re into old vine territory and so a deeper, more complex, berry-ish fruit character emerges on the nose and carries serenely all the way across the palate.’
    • £28.00
    • Rioja Reserva, Tempranillo & Graciano, Izadi, 2007, Spain
      ‘True to form, Izadi have crafted yet another stunning reserva following up on the success of the 2004. The style is fruit driven with a modern approach to subtle oak integration – subtle grainy tannins complete the picture. The Anton family have embraced the 21st century shift towards more fruit-driven styles without compromising the integrity of the terroir & style completely.
    • £28.00
    • Chateau Mouras, Cabernet/Merlot, Graves, Bordeaux, 2006, France
      ‘Fanatical attention to the vines yields a wine of depth in fruit, style & structure that restores one’s faith in Bordeaux without the Rolls Royce prices. Dark fruit and spice dominate the palate, but rounded, supple tannins ensure a soft & silky finish.’
    • £29.00
    • Chianti Classico, Sangiovese, Fontodi, 2008, Italy
      ‘This estate continues to be the standard-bearer for the region – Giovanni Manetti’s attention to detail, both in the vineyard and winer, is evident in this elegant and structured Chianti - aromas of spiced strawberries and blueberries, the wine is full-bodied with silky tannins and fruit presence all the way.’
    • £30.00
    • ‘Enamore,’ Bodegas Renacer, Malbec/Cabernet etc, Mendoza, 2009, Argentina
      ‘Amarone from Argentina and, my goodness, it works. And who better to realise such a project than the master exponent of the style in the Veneto, the Allegrini family. The grapes are dried to1/3 weight before fermentation – it’s a big, chewy wine full of sweet dark fruit, prunes and spice. It is opulent, decadent and thoroughly delicious.’
    • £31.00
    • Wild Earth, Pinot Noir, Central Otago, 2009, New Zealand
      ‘Well who would have thought that such cool southern vineyards would yield such a ripe & luscious Pinot Noir? Depth & intensity are this winery’s hallmarks – opulent dark cherry & licorice on the palate and silky, lingering length.’
    • £32.00
    • Crozes Hermitage ‘Domaine de Thalabert,’ Jaboulet, 2007, France
      ‘Since taking over in 2005, the Frey family have restored the reputation of one of the Northern Rhone’s most illustrious estates to full splendour - Thalabert is one of the most prestigious vineyard plots in Crozes. And in 2007, the wine is supreme – dense, dark and fabulously Syrah all the way through – this is where it all started in Crozes and is understandably the benchmark of the appellation.’
