SONOMA CUTRER – The Cutrer 2004 75cl Bottle Review
Planted on what was once an ocean floor, The Cutrer Vineyard stands hardly a dozen miles from the Pacific shore. Featuring sandy hillside soils that rise nearly 300 feet above sea level, the vineyard is carefully watched over. Judicious crop thinning, high-density spacing, and a wide variety of rootstock's ensure a balanced, fully developed wine with great concentration and an exquisitely rich yellow-gold hue flecked with green. Intense aromas of ripe apple are dotted with cinnamon and clove, as hazelnuts bathed in cream join fragrant notes of acacia blossoms. In the mouth, the wine is dense and concentrated, while simultaneously offering a softer, sensual side in balance. Flavours of baked apple appear alongside glazed pineapple and fresh tangerine, as a hint of clove entertains the taste buds. With its perfect backbone of acidity, the wine is fresh, alive and begging to be enjoyed again and again.

SONOMA CUTRER – Russian River Chardonnay 2007 75cl Bottle Online
Pretty aromas of jasmine and rose petal give way to tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. Roasted hazelnut joins nougat and almond butter, finishing with a touch of lime and lychee. Medium-weight and clean with a wonderful acid backbone, the wine expands in the glass, offering up grapefruit, lemon, pear and kumquat with subtle vanilla bean and herbal mushroom. The lingering finish displays hints of minerality, along with apple, lime and a surprising kiss of strawberry. A market basket of aromas and flavours.

SONOMA CUTRER – Les Pierres Chardonnay 2003 75cl Bottle Reviews

SONOMA CUTRER – Les Pierres Chardonnay 2003 75cl Bottle Nice but not the best
Sitting atop gravelly clay loam in an ancient riverbed thick with cobblestone, Les Pierres is from one of the most hallowed vineyards of Sonoma-Cutrer. Each day, fog from San Pablo Bay arrives to temper the warm Sonoma Valley temperatures, resulting in a long growing season that allows for full maturation and ripening. Full of deep, complex flavours that speak to the leanness of the soil, Les Pierres is a wine worthy of our Grand Cru approach. Fine yellow-gold with perfect clarity, the wine displays distinct aromas of spice and lemon-lime over a pronounced flinty mineral backbone typical of the vineyard. Signature flavours of green apple and lemon evolve to dried lemon peel and lime zest, while floral notes recall the acacia flowers of the Burgundy countryside in spring. A broad mid-palate reveals a touch of spun honey. Careful oak ageing and fermentation impart a hint of fresh-baked bread crust. The wine's structure is firm, focused and elegant, and the remarkably long finish is classic Les Pierres: tight, lemon-mineral, extending with great acidity. A Chardonnay for the ages – enjoy.

WOLF BLASS – Yellow Label, Chardonnay 2007 75cl Bottle Review
Select parcels of Chardonnay fruit have been sourced from vineyards throughout South Australia to acheive the consistency of style that this wine is renowned for. Partial malo-lactic fermentation with American and French oak has resulted in a wine that displays classic peach and melon characters, integrated oak flavours and a creamy soft texture. Added richness and complexity will develop with several years cellaring.

BONTERRA – Sauvignon Blanc 2008 75cl Bottle Deals
This is a wine that truly is made in the vineyard. You'll find intense aromas of grapefruit, kiwi and freshly cut grass captured in the glass. The oft-found muskiness of Sauvignon Blanc is offset by the concentrated tropical aromas and bright minerality in the wine. There's no mistaking the New World style. As you drink, an integrated, almost boastful acidity gives the wine a fresh, vibrant feel. Guava and melon linger on the palate.
