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.
