Saintsbury Sawi Vineyard Syrah 2007

Published by Wines Magic under wine

This is an impressive wine with plenty of power. On the nose there are strong aromas of black pepper, violets and plums. It has great structure, good tannins and well balanced acidity which all mark it out as a wine for ageing. However it can definitely be enjoyed now and makes a great partner to [...]

Errazuriz Pinot Noir 2008 Casablanca Valley

Published by Wines Magic under wine

Winemaker Francisco Baettig limits the oak ageing to just 7 months for less than half the finished wine to retain typical fresh, fruity Pinot Noir characteristics. Ripe blackberry, floral aromas and a smooth, silky mouthfeel make this an excellent partner to roast pork or fillet of salmon.
