A nice barbecue wine. Blackberry, plums, black pepper, smoky oak and hints of eucalyptus on the long finish.

Blackcurrant, leafy, tropical fruits, spritzy. Mouthwatering finish. Fantastic sav blanc for the money.

District 7 Pinot Noir Rosé 2019, Monterey County, California, USA
Strawberry, raspberry, unusual gooseberry, slightly sweet. Drinkable but not distinguishable as Pinot Noir; tasted like a White Zinfandel.

Gustave Lorentz Reserve Riesling 2019, Alsace, France
Bone dry, minerala, pear, green apple, peach notes, lemon. Better than expected given it was quite cheap.

Black Stallion Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, California, USA
Bags of flavour without the concentration of a Napa cab. Blackcurrant, plums, graphite pencil, coffee, smooth tannins. Great value for money.

Salvaje Syrah - Roussanne 2019, Emiliano, Casablanca Valley, Chile
Blackberry, blueberry, smoky, hints of mint like most reds from Chile, meaty nose. A great quarter and outdoor red for the summer. Would be great for a barbecue.

Simpsons Gravel Castle Chardonnay 2019, Kent, United Kingdom
Lemon, green apple, minerals. Don't expect any tropical fruit as the climate in the UK is like Champagne.
