  2021 Chardonnay ‘Charles Heintz Vineyard’, Senses

  £10500

  The grapes for this Chardonnay come from the Heintz family, who have owned their ranch in the Sonoma Coast AVA for over 100 years. Planted in 1982, Charles Heintz produces fruit for some of the top names in California. The world-class fruit that is produced here is summed up by Robert Parker, whose assessment of the vineyard is “…one of the great grand cru Chardonnay sites in California.”

  The 2021 is elegant and expressive, the palate is packed with sublime stone fruits layered with spice, cedar and candied ginger, framed by a racy backbone, with a silky texture and extraordinarily long finish.

  2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, Chimney Rock

  £11700

  The Chimney Rock Estate is blessed with a diversity of soil and topography that breeds complexity into the wines. To the east, steep hills and shallow soils bring density and power. On the north end, the proximity to the Palisades brings with it ripeness and purity of fruit. To the south, proximity to the bay brings breezes that add the nuance of cooler climate – adding hints of dried herbs and mint. It is this diversity that has enabled the winemakers to represent the quintessence of Stags Leap District – the tension between grace and power, the balance of finesse and muscle.

  This wine opens in the glass with abundant aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, with hints of mocha, vanilla and floral. On the palate it is rich and savoury with plum and black cherry flavours and hints of dried fig, vanilla, and floral. On the palate this wine is smooth and viscous in the midpalate, full-bodied, and the tannin structure is firm but very polished. Recommend decanting.

  2021 Tomahawk Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, Chimney Rock

  £15900

  This wine is made from a single vintage, from a single site and crafted to be enjoyed during a single moment in time. Tomahawk Vineyard is a cooler site located at the southern-most point of the Estate which offers a diverse array of soils. In 2018, Mother Nature gifted Napa Valley with perfect weather for the harvest — warm days and cool nights. This allowed tannins to perfectly ripen in the skins and seeds, while preserving beautiful acidity and lower sugars, which resonated well for the age worthiness and balance of the vintage.

  In the glass the wine is generous and complex with aromas of cherry cola, cassis and chocolate. Some savory notes and hints of citrus zest and mint. This wine is intensely aromatic and develops in the glass as layers are revealed. The palate is full-bodied, powerful yet exhibits grace and finesse. A rich and dense mid-palate evolves into a muscular and graceful finish.

  2021 Shiraz ‘1915 Helbig ‘, Elderton

  £21000

  A single vineyard selection of truly remarkable Shiraz that was planted by the Helbig family in 1915. This vineyard is located on the western ridge of the famous Barossa Valley and has been a highly sought-after parcel for many of the Barossa’s leading winemakers. Luckily for the Ashmead family, they were able to acquire this vineyard in 2010, forever ending the race to get this amazing fruit.

  In the glass, the wine presents a deep, inky crimson core with a vibrant purple rim, hinting at its youthful vitality and richness. The nose is an intense bouquet of ripe black plums and spiced red berries, layered with dark chocolate, liquorice, and a touch of clove. Subtle hints of vanilla and freshly turned earth add intrigue and complexity.

  The palate is full-bodied and opulent, unfurling in waves of brooding dark fruit, think blackberry, cassis, and mulberry, all beautifully integrated with nuances of dark cocoa and savoury spice. A refined chalky minerality underpins the wine’s structure, while velvety, persistent tannins carry it to a long and seamless finish. There is immense power here, yet the wine moves with precision and grace, showcasing the remarkable harmony between fruit intensity, texture, and finesse.

  Poised for a long life ahead, the 2021 Helbig 1915 Shiraz is seriously delicious now, but will evolve magnificently over the next 15 to 20 years.
