2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

Beautifully delineated Cabernet aromas on the nose with cassis, blueberry and fine spiced notes of star anise, espresso and cocoa. There is some wild herb and juniper spice too with a fine gravelly core - a fine balance between the richness of fruit on the mid-palate and drive and direction on the finish.

Ready: 2025 - 2038
2023 Geyserville, Ridge Vineyards, Alexander Valley Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

A blend of Zinfandell, Carignane, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet this is a deep, rich and spicy wine with flavours of blue fruits, wild herbs and baking spice. Fleshy and round on the palate the tannins are deftly integrated with the fruit and the finish is long and lingering with notes of cocoa and dark berry fruits.

Ready: 2025 - 2042
2023 Lytton Springs, Ridge Vineyards, Dry Creek Valley Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

The 2023 vintage is a blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, Mataro, and Alicante Bouschet. Very expressive from the outside there are flavours of dark hedgerow fruit with finely spiced notes of vanilla and espresso. This is quite a bold wine but very complex that keeps opening in the glass with notes of graphite and wild herbs emerging with a little air. Very balanced with charming fruit all the way to the finish.

Ready: 2025 - 2040

2023 Estate Chardonnay, Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains Dry | White | Still | 14%

The 2023 vintage was a long, cool growing season which was perfect for maintaining energy and vibrancy in this Chardonnay. With notes of toasted almond, wet stones and honeysuckle there is so much complexity here. Orchard fruit with a fine bead of acidity drive to a long finish of white peach and a little white grapefruit pith.

Ready: 2025 - 2033
2021 Barolo Mosconi, E Pira e Figli Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

The Mosconi is quite simply exceptional this year. From this site of some of the oldest soils in the region this is brooding and structured wine yet with a totally seamless core of red berry fruit. Beautifully defined and controlled with a fragrance that opens with a little air, there are accents of lavender, peppery spice, and a little wild herb. The finish is so long and pure – a must have this year.

Ready: 2025 - 2046
2021 Barolo Via Nuova, E Pira e Figli Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

The Via Nuova is sourced from a few different excellent vineyard sites and has resulted in a wine of real purity and focus. This has a classical profile, so sleek and elegant with notes of tea leaves, cherry fruit and ripe peach. Expressive and vibrant there is so much to love about this wine which straightens up on the finish with a lift of mint, iris and aniseed.

Ready: 2025 - 2041
2013 Viña Tondonia Rioja Reserva, López de Heredia Dry | Red | Still | 13%

The 2013 Viña Tondonia Rioja Reserva is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% of Graciano and Mazuelo and aged in old American oak for six years before bottling. From a cooler vintage this has a beautifully classical, athletic profile. The nose delivers aromas of truffle, porcini, some dried dill and a sanguine note. This is a vibrant and fine boned wine with red berry fruits, brick dust and some subtle spiced notes on the long finish.
