Sangiovese 2004:  'Fantastic. Full bodied, and soft from a ripe vintage; earthy and gamey with spicy pot-pourri aromas, flavours of cherries and blackberries, and mild tannins.' Phil Parker 'Sangiovese 2004 is the flagship wine and shows the richness and concentration of its status. The colour of this wine is like bright blue-blood while it's deep, winey taste is imbued with layers of spice, vanilla, chocolate, berry, tar and oak that change with every mouthful.' Sue Courtney

 

Dolcetto 2005: 'Fantastic young Dolcetto; undoubtedly the best Italian varietal made and grown in NZ that I have yet tasted, even with a heady 14.5% alcohol. It's soft, silky and highly drinkable.' Joelle Thomson
