Floral violet notes are followed by an intense fruity expression of red plum, strawberry and blackberry. Full-bodied but smooth and balanced, with subtle minerality this is a classic expression of Argentinian Malbec. The wines names ‘1300’ is derived from the fact the grapes were grown in vineyards located at over 1,300 metres above sea level. The area is characterised by its wide diurnal temperature range, which produces grapes with a great intensity of colour and a distinctive aromatic expression.

2021 Ripa Delle More IGT, Castello Vicchiomaggio
£3395Add to BasketA stylish red showing an abundance of ripe plummy and blueberry fruit, enhanced by hints of herbs and a delicate touch of mint. Layers of dark chocolate, vanilla and juniper. Rich, soft and opulent tannins lead to a long, intense finish. Sophisticated Tuscan at its best.
Ripa delle More was created in 1980 as an innovation, breaking the rules of the time. Then it changed year after year to become a blend of traditional Sangiovese (50%) with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The grapes are carefully selected from the Ripa delle More vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 255 to 265 metres above sea-level. The sustainably cultivated vines exceed 20 years in age and are pruned according to the single Guyot method to ensure low yields of approximately 42 hectolitres per hectare. The soil in this vineyard is ‘Galestro’, a rocky, schistous clay soil commonly found in most of Tuscany’s best vineyards, with 30% heavy clay.

Red Wine2022 Bourgogne Rouge ‘Maison Dieu’, Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure
£3395Add to BasketThe Rebourgeon family has been making wine in Pommard for almost 500 years. Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure is a Domaine of approximately 7 hectares and is run by David and his father Daniel. The vineyards are almost all located in Pommard and the neighbouring commune of Volnay.
This 2022 Bourgogne Rouge “Cuvée Maison Dieu” is a lieu-dit (named site) in the village of Pommard and as such is a declassified Pommard! Indeed the vines are just under those of the famous Château de Pommard. This all bodes well for what the wine is actually like in the glass….. It has a generous bouquet with red cherries and raspberry fruit. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, crunchy red fruit. This wine will be brilliant with dishes such as roast chicken, chicken tagine with olives, coq au vin, beef fillet with Morel or Porcini mushrooms, veal chops and hard cheeses.

2015 Old Vine Carignan, Calder Wine Company
£3500Add to BasketThe 2015 Carignane is built from two great sources in Mendocino County, both farmed by the father-son team of Don and Darrin Colombini. The primary source is the Rovera vineyard, planted in 1942 in the sandy, quartz-flecked soils of the eastern bench of Redwood Valley. The Rovera vines have incredibly small clusters and berries, with correspondingly low yields—less than 2 tons per acre in 2015. This gives the fruit tremendous intensity and depth, backed by lightning-rod acidity. The Cemetery vineyard planted 1954, is dry-farmed in almost pure gravel and contributes bright cherry fruit and aromatic lift.
The resultant wine features vivacious blackberry and raspberry aromas inflected with iron-like mineral complexity. Carignane has an intensely savoury edge to its fruit: stones, smoke, and celery seeds, evoking the wild herbs and rocks of its homeland in the Priorat of Spain. The palate is rich and generous, with plenty of structure from Carignane’s characteristic acidity and tannin.

2012 Syrah Le Pousseur, Bonny Doon
£3500Add to BasketBonny Doon Vineyards’ 2012 Syrah, “Le Pousseur,” is made from Syrah grapes grown in some nice Central Coast spots – 48% Alamo Creek Vineyard, 18% Bien Nacido Vineyard, 18% Spanish Springs Vineyard and 16% Ventana Vineyard. These are cool-climate sites and the website states that with “a fair amount of whole clusters included, this is a savory Syrah of great restraint.”
Randall Grahm writes that he finds Le Posseur “enchanting and captivating rather than overpowering.” He labels it as a “feminine” Syrah. I don’t make it a habit to argue with a winemaker about his wines, but I was taken to task once for the use of the term “feminine” as a sexist way to describe a wine. PC or not PC, it does not strike me as feminine. Maybe it’s feminine in a masculine way. Or masculine in a feminine way. Maybe it’s just a wine having a crisis of sexuality. Or maybe it’s just a Syrah of great restraint. It retails for $26 and 2,126 cases were produced.
Under the screw cap is a wine which is opaque indigo. Big blueberry fruit dominates the nose with a savory undercurrent. It is possibly the fruitiest nose I’ve experienced from a Bonny Doon red, which usually lean savory. The palate shows dark fruit too, with just a hint of that black olive note Grahm’s wines often exhibit. Very nice acidity and a good tannic grip top off an entirely enjoyable experience. The oak touch is nice, just right in fact.
90 points from PlanetGrape.com: “Seductive notes of red rose, lilac, raspberry and cherry mingle with earthy notes of game, bacon and underbrush. Smooth and silky. Decant to let oxygen do its thing.” (02/2015) According to the winery: “We’ve been in a nice aromatic groove of late with Le Pousseur, largely in virtue of the string of very cool vintages, and sourcing our fruit exclusively from cool climate sites. The ’12 Pousseur (who is to say why) is still in a Marlon Brando-like bit of a sullen funk, but there is no question that underneath that brooding exterior, there beats the heart of a Wild One. The Alamo Creek component (possibly in virtue of its extremely gravelly soil) seems to add a strong mineral/earthy/bloody note, not utterly unreminiscent of Cornas. With more air, you begin to gradually discern the characteristic anise/licorice character that typifies Syrah. On the palate, the wine has a refreshing acidity, tannins well-resolved and is remarkably savory with an exceptionally long finish. This wine is still amazingly young and will benefit from several years of ageing (if you can wait). If you can’t wait, decanting is well advised.”

2017 ‘The McRae Wood’ Shiraz, Jim Barry
£3500Add to BasketThis Shiraz honours the vision of pioneer Clare Valley winemaker Jim Barry. In 1964, Jim purchased 28 hectares of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape variety and location.
This wine displays lovely red and purple tones in the glass. Red and purple fruits carry onto the palate supported by a rich, earthy undertone and fine silky tannins giving the wine terrific structure, great length and persistent flavour. Rich, vibrant aromas of blackcurrant and briary fruits with hints of vanillin oak and spice.
Made using the ‘Jim Barry’ method and as such can be enjoyed upon release, but would equally benefit from cellaring to allow the wine to show some mature characteristics that come with age.

The wine is packed with dark fruit like blackberry, mulberry, and plum, with a cool, herbaceous gloss. Hints of rum and raisin positively points to full ripeness, joined by a notable yet balanced alcohol adding to the full, rounded texture of the wine. Clever use of oak adds structure while honouring the fruit, affirmed with a mellow and gentle pull of berry compote. Garigue aromas persist on the palate, edged with fresh acidity and supple tannin for a mouth-watering finish. A coolness lingers on the palate with a gentler aftertaste of dark, sea salt chocolate. A very serious wine that will reward over many years. Decant for an hour before drinking. Drink now to 2035

A touch of baking spices and dark chocolate adds to the complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a rich core of dark berries, mulberry, and forest floor, balanced by vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins.

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso d’Oro
£3500Add to BasketThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso d’Oro is a bold yet polished expression of Paso Robles, crafted by winemaker Laura Orozco, whose family legacy and deep Napa Valley roots inspired this vibrant project. Raised among the vines, Laura brings an intimate knowledge of California’s viticultural heartland to her wines. Paso d’Oro, meaning “Way of Gold,” honours her father’s journey from Mexico to the vineyards of California in the 1970s, in pursuit of a brighter future. Today, that legacy lives on in a wine that radiates both heritage and sunshine.
In the glass, the 2022 vintage is smooth and expressive, offering lifted aromas of black raspberry, blackcurrant, and hibiscus, layered with subtle spice notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove. The palate is opulent and plush, unfolding with rich waves of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, framed by velvety tannins and a supple, lingering finish.
The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Paso Robles AVA, a region famed for its rolling hills, ancient soils, and dramatic temperature swings. Here, the warm Mediterranean climate, tempered by cool Pacific breezes through the Templeton Gap, creates ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon with depth, vibrancy, and a true sense of place.
