  2019 Chardonnay ‘B.A. Thieriot Vineyard’, Senses

  £18500

  This Chardonnay comes from the famed Thieriot Vineyard,over the years, the grapes from these blocks have been sold to top- class producers in the region. Vintage after vintage, this vineyard consistently produces high-scoring single vineyard wines and is renowned as being one of the premier vineyards on the Sonoma Coast.

  With incredibly salty minerality, this racy style shows beautiful lemon curd, floral notes and brioche notes through to toasty, hazelnut nuances and a rich palate with flawless balance and an exquisite finish.

  2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.

  2019 Pinot Noir ‘Day One’, Senses

  £18500

  Classic aromas of mulled red and black fruits, forest floor, conifer, and spiced orange carry through to a velvety palate showing wonderful purity of fruit, a precise texture and supreme balance.

  The fruit comes from the Hillcrest Vineyard, a single vineyard site purchased by Myles’ parents, Carleton Briggs and Lisa Lawrence in 1988. Located just outside of Occidental, this site borders the Charles Heintz Vineyard to the west and is home to the original Chardonnay planting in the West Sonoma Coast. It has however since been replanted to Pinot Noir, which thrives in the warm microclimate which is tempered by the cool, coastal breezes and the trademark fog that lingers over the vineyards, bringing moisture and cooling the vines. The result is a long hang-time, during which the vines slowly build aromatic complexity, concentrated flavours, superbly balanced by natural, acidity.

  2019 Chardonnay ‘Vine Hill Vineyard’, Kistler

  £19500

  2019 marks the 40th vintage of Kistler and what a vintage it is!

  “This is a gorgeous set of wines from Kistler. The 2019 Chardonnays show the pedigree of the vintage in their nuance, character and site expression.”   Antonio Galloni of Vinous.com

  The 2019 Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay as described by the winemaker: Green-tinged pale yellow. Bold aromas of freshly peeled Gravensteins, lime blossom, powdered rock, deep earthen undertones and roasted grains. Expressive and deeply concentrated while tightly wound given its low pH nature. A long lingering finish speaks to the purity of the extract. One of the best examples of the mineral tones informed by the growing medium of certain soils and a classic manifestation of the seamless tension between weight and energy from the sands of the Vine Hill Vineyard.

  2016 Rubicon, Inglenook

  £19500

  Founded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards. At the heart of this revival stands Rubicon, Inglenook’s flagship wine since its inaugural vintage in 1978. Conceived as a grand vin in the Bordeaux tradition, Rubicon is a deeply personal project for Coppola, an expression of both legacy and innovation, crafted under the direction of Philippe Bascaules (formerly of Château Margaux). Named after the fateful river crossed by Julius Caesar, Rubicon symbolises a bold commitment to excellence and a reverence for history.

  The 2016 Rubicon epitomises the elegance and structure that define Rutherford’s most iconic wines. Produced under ideal growing conditions, this vintage showcases remarkable complexity, balance, and finesse. The nose opens with layered aromas of ripe black cherry, crème de cassis, and dark plum, accented by nuances of black liquorice, sweet vanilla, and a hint of smoky cedar. On the palate, Rubicon is broad and deeply expressive, with velvety tannins that frame its core of ripe black fruit. There is a seamless integration of richness and restraint, leading to a long, harmonious finish marked by subtle notes of spice and graphite. A true collector’s wine, the 2016 Rubicon reflects both the power and grace of its vineyard origins, resolutely modern, yet steeped in tradition.
