Vinous (92)
(aged in 50% new oak) Brilliant red. Deep-pitched red fruit preserve, cola, spicecake and floral pastille aromas are lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral note. Intense, palate-staining raspberry and bitter cherry flavors show a spine of juicy acidity and slowly tighten up and become sweeter with aeration. Combines power and finesse with a deft hand and finishes impressively long, displaying excellent focus and a suave floral quality.Inc. VAT£591.64 -

The 2021 Chardonnay Sophie's Vineyard comes from an isolated vineyard near the town of Yoncalla in the Umpqua Valley, planted in the late 1970s with Draper and Wente selections. Matured in oak and finished with four months in stainless steel, it has fresh scents of green pear, quince and citrus blossom with undertones of almonds, flint and honey. The light-bodied palate is creamy and plush with gently nutty fruits and a long, refreshing finish.Inc. VAT£632.47 -

Pale ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir The Eyrie is a stunning wine with 10-15 years of aging potential. It has detailed scents of raspberries, blackberries, star anise, tangerine oil and violets, and it continues to unfold aromatically as it spends time in the glass. Delicately intense, it glides through the mouth like velvet, with seemingly endless flavor and nuance, and a finish that goes on and on.Inc. VAT£559.24
