    • Borgo Selene Rosso, Nero d’Avola, 2010, Sicily
      ‘The wine-making at this level needs recognising - a lively, light-style red - un-oaked, allowing the youthful berry fruit to prevail.’
    • £3.80
    • £5.30
    • £14.90
    • Sequiot, Tempranillo/Cabernet, Valencia, 2009, Spain
      ‘What a find! A dash of Cabernet in this blend delivers an impressive depth & elegance in such a youthful wine – old world maybe, but approachable, svelte and yummy!’
    • £4.20
    • £5.80
    • £16.50
    • Calbuco, Cabernet/Merlot, Central Valley 2010, 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.’

    • £17.00
    • Baron de Badassière, Syrah, Pays d’Oc, 2009, France
      ‘The d’Oc is flying & the northern rhone should, quite rightly, be feeling the pressure. Totally Syrah in every respect – gems like this keep the old enemy in the running when the rest of world is performing so well.’

    • £6.00
    • £17.00
    • Montepulciano d’Abruzzo ‘Il Faggio’ 2009, 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.’
    • £4.70
    • £6.50
    • £18.50
    • Finca Los Primos, Malbec, Mendoza, 2010, Argentina
      ‘This is a superlative rendition of Argentina’s most important red grape. Dark & handsome with flavourful layers of rich, brambly fruit, coffee, spice and leather that lends credence to its ‘red meat partner’ status.’

    • £19.50
    • Willunga 100, Grenache, Mclaren Vale, 2007, Australia
      ‘There’s a lot of wine here – a broad spectrum of red berry fruits on the nose with subtle oak and cedary spice that gives way to a big juice-packed bomb of dark, brambly fruit on the palate – there’s a pepper & spice presence too that, all in, endorse its ‘great value’ reputation.’
    • £22.00
    • Allegrini, Valpolicella, Veneto, 2009, 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
    • Fairview, Pinotage, Paarl, 2009, South Africa
      ‘SA’s indigenous hybrid variety from the dynamic Charles Back is a gem – dark chocolate & blackberries with a lingering, ripe, licorice, cherry character once inside.’
    • £23.00
    • 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!’
    • £24.00
    • Chianti, Sangiovese, Cantine Leonardo, 2009, Italy
      ‘Award-winning Chianti that respects the 21st century requisite for a fresh, fruit-driven style – juicy, supple & velvety – perfect liver and fava bean material.’
    • £24.00
    • Dandelion Vineyards ‘Lion’s Tooth’ Shiraz/Riesling, Mclaren Vale, 2008, Australia
      ‘An innovative blend from innovative winemakers - and it works beautifully. The riesling component tempers & refines the oft sinus-popping, brazen Shiraz in much the same way as the viognier grape ‘cushions the blow.’ There’s still all the juice & cedary spice you’d hope to find in a single varietal Shiraz, but silky rather than briary’
    • £25.00
    • Kim Crawford, Pinot Noir, Marlborough, 2008, 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.’
    • £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.’
    • £26.00
    • Rioja Reserva, Tempranillo & Graciano, Izadi, 2006, 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.
    • £27.00
    • Chateau Mouras, Merlot/Cab Sauv & Franc, Graves, 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, Fontodi, Sangiovese, Tuscany, 2006, Italy
      ‘This legendary vintage continues to win acclaim and Giovanni Mannetti’s rendition is, arguably, the one to be found on the top step of the podium – the magic of this wine lies in the layers & layers of complex aroma and fruit character which give way to the typically savoury, yet luxuriously svelte, texture. Supremely good.’
    • £29.00
    • ‘Enamore,’ Bodegas Renacer, Malbec/Cabernet etc, Mendoza, 2008, 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.’
    • £29.00
    • Ata Rangi ‘Crimson,’ Pinot Noir, Martinborough, 2009, New Zealand
      ‘This gem of a Pinot is chock-full of red plum and sweet black cherry fruit from start to finish, dusted with clove and exotic spice on the nose and a more-ish succulence on the palate – this is quality craftsmanship, an exactitude and lightness of touch that you’d expect from New Zealand’s most respected Pinot estate.’
    • £30.00
    • Shaw & Smith, Shiraz, Adelaide Hills, 2008, Australia
      ‘Cool climate Shiraz at its best – elegantly styled Shiraz with dark red fruit notes and a leathery, gamey undertone - well-concealed tannins ensure the wine is ‘open for business’ at this young age. At the same time, exciting and classy – this is Shiraz in touch with its feminine side.’
