Fortified Wine Portugal Madeira MADEIRA BARBEITO Sercial Old Reserve 10 Years Old Bottle £24.95 This is authentic Madeira. A regular Gold Medal winner, and one which we would suggest serving between larder and room temperature, rather than fully chilling. Tom Cannavan Tasting Notes "Deep burnished gold, hinting at tawny. Oxidised notes of bruised fruit and a nutty character. Delicate yeasty notes. On the palate quite richly textured, with a sweetness at first, but soon overtaken by dry, Fino-like nuttiness and plenty of lemon rind waxiness and crisp, clean, white fruit and citrus acidity. This has a multi-layered complexity, and the 50g/l of residual sugar is mind-boggling given the searing dryness of the finish. 90 Points" MADEIRA BARBEITO Verdelho 'Old Reserve' 10 Years Old £24.95 Bottle This is authentic Madeira. Overall Fortified Wine Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2009. Tasting: Tom Cannavan "Rich burnished gold. A little rotted orange note of oxidation of this ripe fruit, with a hint of barley sugar and little floral and exotic fruit notes, as well as a delicate spiciness. On the palate the immediate impression is dry, with a lushness to the texture and a building sweetness through the mid-palate. There is a welterweight of acidity here again, but the creamy, toffeed character balances, and this stays quite rich but very well defined through its acid structure into a long, tangy finish that leaves a real impression in the mouth." Sherry Dry EMILIO LUSTAU Dry Amontillado 'Los Arcos Bottle £11.95 A text book Amontillado of great maturity, made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes. Naturally dry and soft, its palate gives a hint of wood and smoky raisins. A powerful and distinctive nutty bouquet. A better Amontillado would be difficult to find. Serve slightly chilled as a warming apéritif. ROBERT PARKER 90 points 'The dry, medium amber-hued non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos offers good body as well as a heady personality.' EMILIO LUSTAU Manzanilla 'Papirusa' Bottle £11.95 This is a bone dry Manzanilla from the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes. It is light and fresh, very tangy, clean and crisp with just a hint of saltiness. Serve it chilled as an apéritif. ROBERT PARKER 92 Points 'Impressive is the superb non-vintage Manzanilla Parirusa. Its light straw color is accompanied by a spicy, nutty nose, elegant, dry flavours, delicious purity, and a smoky intensity. It would be fabulous with sushi. Drink it over the next year.' EMILIO LUSTAU Puerto Fino 'Solera Reserva' Bottle £11.95 Made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes this is a truly great wine matured in the town of Puerto de Santa María, considered by many experts to be the home of the finest classic fino. Dry, elegant, light and smooth with just a hint of the sea and attractive fruit. Very fresh, with a slight taste of tangy yeast. The pronounced flor bouquet is due to Puerto Fino's double maturation under fresh flor. Serve chilled as an apéritif or as a wine with food. Delicious with shellfish and other seafood. ROBERT PARKER 90 Points 'The dry, austere, intensely flavorful non-vintage Puerto Fino exhibits a light green/amber color as well as notes of crushed sea shells, hazelnuts and spice. This is top-notch Fino to consume over the next year.' INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE 2005 - GOLD MEDAL GONZALEZ BYASS Tio Pepe Fino Sherry Bottle (75cl) £9.75 15.0%alc A Fino (dry) sherry. Pale gold. Crisp, fresh, clean, very dry and fragrant. Pungent, distinctive "flor" aroma. The estimated period of ageing is some 5 years. All the grapes are from vineyards owned by Gonzalez Byass in the "Jerez Superior" zone. GONZALEZ BYASS Tio Pepe Fino Sherry Miniature (5cl) 15.0%alc - COMING SOON Medium CROFT Particular Amontillado Sherry Bottle (75cl) 17.5%alc A medium dry Amontillado sherry from the house of Croft. HARVEY'S Club Classic Amontillado Sherry Bottle (75cl) £0.65 £7.45 £7.45 This is Harveys Club Amontillado, repackaged and renamed. Reliable, nutty Amontillado with soft, round sweetness, ideal as an aperitif or try with cakes or fruit tarts. Sweet CROFT Original Cream Sherry Bottle (75cl) 17.5%alc £7.95 Croft Original pale cream is a suitable blend of the pale dryness of quality Fino Sherry, with the added depth and body of a cream. It is both light and delicate in colour, yet smooth and luxurious in its taste. Fortified Wine Sherry Sweet EMILIO HIDALGO Pedro Ximenez N.V. Bottle £18.95 The bodega was founded in the mid nineteenth century by Emilio Hidalgo. The company is owned and operated by the fifth generation of his descendants. The winery has been located, since its inception, in the old part of the city of Jerez de la Frontera. Ageing: A system of horizontal soleras is used - instead of the usual vertical or pyramidal system – ensuring the barrels are as close to the floor as possible and stored in the coolest, most humid parts of the cellars. Style: The Hidalgo family think of their sherries more as table wines than fortified wines. The wines are elegant and complex and match a wider variety of foods than many typical sherries. This wine has a very dark, almost opaque colour; the aroma is of toasted nuts and raisins, the flavours reminiscent of dates and sweet figs. Long, complex and pure, it is relatively delicate compared to many PX’s which just taste of molasses. Fantastic match for bitter chocolate puddings, ice cream or strong blue cheeses. EMILIO LUSTAU Moscatel 'Emilin' Bottle £14.95 Made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes this sherry has a light amber, gold colour and is dry and has an immensely rich flavour, with nuances of vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate. Serve it at cool room temperature as an aperitif with nuts. THE ALMACENISTA: Vides S.A. was founded in 1958 by Don Tomas Domecq Rivero, and the bodegas are located a few hundred yards from Lustau's main cellars in the old Santiago quarter of the city. Today, his grandson, Don Fernando Leon Manjon owns the bodega. ROBERT PARKER 93 points (2007) 'The non-vintage Palo Cortado, Almacenista Vides is dark amber, slightly sweeter and richer than the Amontillado and would be excellent with quail, partridge, and grouse.' EMILIO LUSTAU Pedro Ximenez 'San Emilio' Bottle £15.95 Almost black in colour. A pronounced and delicious bouquet of the essence of sweet raisins. The taste is very sweet, smooth, pronounced and delicous just like dried raisins or sweet grape juice. This is a very sweet dessert wine made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes and it should be consumed, chilled, on its own or with rich, fruity puddings. Also classically used as the sauce for one of the famous desserts of Jerez: ice cream with Pedro Ximénez Sherry. EMILIO LUSTAU deLuxe Cream 'Capataz Andre' Bottle £9.95 Made from Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximénez grapes in the traditional way and at the original strength - one of the few examples left of what cream sherry should taste like. Deep amber in colour with the taste of sweet raisins, dates and figs. Rich sweet ripe fruit that lingers smoothly and seductively. A powerful balance of sweetness, richness and maturity. Serve at cool room temperature as a dessert wine or as a digéstif at the end of a meal. Various Other Marsala CURATOLO Marsala Fine Dry N.V Bottle £7.95 The Curatolo family has been producing excellent Marsala and creditable wine for over a century. They are the oldest, family-owned Marsala house in Italy. Light wines from local grapes Grillo, Inzolia, and Cataratto are fortified with white grape spirits in the traditional way. The wines are then cask aged for 2 years in order to get the Superiore classification. This Marsala has intense, long-lasting flavours with characteristic wood scents, toasted almonds, citrus, and perfumes of vanilla, caramel and honey. CURATOLO Marsala Superiore Riserva N.V Bottle £11.95 The Curatolo family has been producing excellent Marsala and creditable wine for over a century. They are the oldest, family-owned Marsala house in Italy. Light wines from local grapes Grillo, Inzolia, and Cataratto are fortified with white grape spirits in the traditional way. The wines are then cask aged for 2 years in order to get the Superiore classification. This Marsala has intense, long-lasting flavours with characteristic wood scents, toasted almonds, citrus, and perfumes of vanilla, caramel and honey. Pineau des Charentes CHATEAU MONTIFAUD Pineau des Charentes Blanc N.V. £13.95 Bottle Excellent and very underrated apéritif from the Cognac region of France. A blend of fresh grape juice from Colombard grapes and wonderfully smooth cognac, it has freshness, a hint of sweetness and a clean finish. CHATEAU MONTIFAUD Pineau des Charentes Rose/Rouge £13.95 N.V. Bottle Pineau rosé is made with Cabernet and the Merlot grapes and undergoes a cold pelliculaire maceration for several days, to extract the best aromas contained in the pulp. This process obtains a pleasant perfume of red fruits (blackcurrant, morello cherry). Use as an aperitif, with melon, or at dessert with chocolate cake. Page 22 of 90
Red Wine America California DE LOACH Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2008 Bottle £17.95 The cool, foggy Russian River Valley climate allows for slow ripening, enabling grapes to develop full flavor maturation over an extended time. The fruit for our 2007 blend was hand-harvested from select vineyards around the valley and crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques: fermentation in small, wooden, open-top vats; hand punch-downs; basket-pressing; and French oak barrel aging. Enticing red berry fruit aromas bend with rhubarb and cola. Delicate notes of anise and baking spices lace the fruit to unfold a rich palate of black cherries supported by medium fine-grained tannins. The finish lingers with attractive subtle toasty undertones, fine acid, and excellent balance. FROG'S LEAP Zinfandel - Napa Valley 2007 Bottle £18.95 HUGE THUMBS UP FOR THIS ONE! Rich, but quaffable, this easy drinking Zinfandel can be easily drunk on it's own or with food. We know that we can sell this well. Blended with a bit of Petite Syrah, Carignan and Napa Gamay to give depth and balance. Layers of dried cranberries and wildberry. Yum Yum!! HESS COLLECTION Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 £16.95 Bottle The combination of a long, warm growing season and well-drained soils creates optimal ripening conditions, which make the Allomi Vineyard an ideal location for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 210 acre vineyard is composed of 35 unique blocks with six different clones. By selecting the best blocks each vintage, our winemaker produces a distinctive wine notable for its depth and complexity. This wine expresses a lush, firm texture, with good acidity, firm tannins and distinctive fruit forward flavours. HESS COLLECTION Artezin Zinfandel 2009/10 Bottle £12.95 The 2009 Artezin Zinfandel Mendocino County, just to the north of Napa, shows the bright red fruit and spicy palate for which the varietal is known. Deep ruby color. The fruit profile opens with fresh blackberries and blackcherry, followed by ripe raspberry jam. More subtle aromas of currants, licorice, black pepper and spice. Entry on the palate is a burst of berries, followed by spices and ripe fruit sweetness. The mid-palate is smooth and round with elegant tannins and a lush finish. This Dry Creek offering shows that Zinfandel can be sophisticated and elegant and gains complexity with pairing. As such, excellent food pairings include roasted duck, veal, and grilled salmon as well as pastas and subtle-flavored cheeses. HESS COLLECTION SELECT Cabernet Sauvignon 2007/08* £11.95 Bottle Mendocino contributes spice and mid-palate, Lake County adds the classic red fruit profile of Bing cherry and Napa Valley maintains our signature style and structure, with flavours of black fruit and cassis. The wine’s smoky barrel toast and hickory aromas mingle with raspberry and black cherry on the palate. A rich, full body with hints of sage and allspice lead into fine-grained tannins in the finish. FOOD PAIRING: Sweet peppers, caramelized onions, roasted Portobello mushrooms, bacon burger with blue cheese, barbecued shrimp, mild blue cheese and cheddar cheese. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah, 7% Merlot. LYETH Merlot 'L de Lyeth' 2008 Bottle £10.45 The Sonoma County Merlot is probably the most impressive of all of the wine produced at Lyeth, simply because at this price, with a Sonoma County appellation, is nigh on impossible to find. This wine has a ruby red colour, aromas of ripe black cherry, lively raspberry, plum, currant, thyme and spice notes. It is well-balanced with flavours of plum, wild berry, currant and hints of mint and spices. OPUS ONE (Mondavi/Rothschild) 2006 Bottle £162.95 ROBERT PARKER 94 points ''Not surprisingly, the 2006 is a bigger, more muscular, less charming effort displaying unbridled power, full-bodied richness, and notes of new saddle leather, black fruits, roasted herbs, and burning embers. Powerful and rich with sweet tannin, low acidity, and more structure and density than the 2005 as well as less nuance and complexity, the 2006 should be consumed over the next 15+ years.' OPUS ONE (Mondavi/Rothschild) 2007 Bottle £162.95 ROBERT PARKER 95 points ''One of the strongest wines ever made at Opus One, the 2007 has terrific black currant fruit, licorice, incense, and subtle smoke, an opulent, even voluptuous mouthfeel, dazzling purity and texture, and a skyscraper-like mouthfeel. This is a sensational Opus One, with sweet tannin and impressive precision and depth. It can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years.' With a new winemaking team in place, and no longer any influence from the Mondavis, it is ironic that Opus One appears to have produced its greatest trilogy of vintages to date. This wine has always been more about sizzle than substance. While some top wines have emerged, others have been riddled with brett as well as lacking in concentration. That accusation can not be made against this vintage. OPUS ONE (Mondavi/Rothschild) 2008 Bottle £199.95 Extreme weather conditions in 2008—from an unseasonably cold April to an extended heat spell in September—led to Opus One’s smallest per-acre yield in thirty-two vintages. Aromas of rose petals, cassis and black cherry in the 2008 combine with notes of marzipan and sandalwood. A satin texture enrobes the wine’s smooth, round tannins, its bright acidity supporting a juicy and elegant mouthfeel. This precocious and remarkable wine offers a long finish, with traces of clove and dark chocolate. Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 86%, Petit Verdot 8%, Merlot 4%, Cabernet Franc 1%, and Malbec 1%. Red Wine America California RIDGE VINEYARDS Geyserville (Zinfandel, Carignane & Petit £25.95 Sirah) 2008 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 90-92 points 'The 2008 Geyserville Proprietary Red (72% Zinfandel, 20% Carignan, and the rest Petite Sirah, Mataro, and Mourvedre; 14.8% alcohol) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with lots of glycerin, blue and black fruits, pepper, and incense. This rich, fleshy 2008 may turn out to be more juicy and succulent than the 2007. It should last for 7-8 years.' RIDGE VINEYARDS Lytton Springs(Zinfandel Petite Sirah & £25.95 Carignane) 2008 Bottle This fine Zinfandel offers aromas of rich, black fruits imbued with exotic spice from new oak, followed by a firm, well structured palate of berries, with superb concentration, firm acidity and fairly intense tannins. Allow this wine to develop over the next ten to fifteen years. ROBERT PARKER 91-93 points 'The 2008 Lytton Springs Proprietary Red, a blend of 74% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, and 5% Carignan, possesses a deep ruby/purple color and good acidity, and a more closed style than the Geyserville, with a firmer, more restrained overall personality. It should drink well for 7-8 years. SCOTTO Zinfandel Lodi, California 2008/09*** Bottle £6.95 This is a lovely approachable Zinfandel. Great blackberry fruit. Medium bodied and very well balanced. A very easy drinking wine with ripe tannins and a luscious finish. "The nose has a racy character, the mainly black fruits bilberry and black cherry spiced up by herbal black pepper. The mid palate is rich the black fruits backed by dark chocolate and then towards the back the fresher more herbal spice gives an appealing twist to the tail." 91 pts Derek Smedley MW Grapes: 95 % Zinfandel 5 % Syrah What to eat with: Perfect with all red meat dishes. Not too weighty, so will compliment many meals. The good acidity will help to cut through any fattiness, a good choice with a roast meal. Tasting 18.10.09 - This wine is fantastic with Roast Lamb and all the trimmings. At this price it really is worth having a few of these in your rack. A great all rounder with great fruit and finish. SEGHESIO Zinfandel 'Sonoma County' 2009 Bottle £17.95 When Grandfather Edoardo first planted Zinfandel on their Home Ranch in Alexander Valley in 1895, Zinfandel was known as the boss grape in Sonoma County. It earned its popularity by thriving in the California sun and providing good color and sugar at harvest. To the many Italian immigrants in Sonoma County, Zinfandel was reminiscent of the fruit-driven wines of their homeland. A tantalizing black raspberry and classic briary flavored wine with a balance of components for which Seghesio wines are known. This wine is quite simply one of the best Zinfandels we have tasted in recent memory. No more soupy, overripe fig, jam and demerara flavours here. Just a beautiful, full-on, red fruit and chocolate mouthful with fantastic, crisp acidity and great, inky concentration. This wine will reshape your ideas of what Zinfandel should be and you'll never look back. SEQUANA Pinot Noir - Sarmento Vineyard 'Santa Lucia' 2009 £25.95 Bottle Displaying the classic qualities of the Santa Lucia Highlands, this silky Pinot Noir has pretty floral and citrus aromas. Warm Asian spices accompany bright, lasting flavors of citrus, rose petal and cherry. Winemaking: In small open-topped tanks each block was fermented separately, using primarily native yeasts. Other lots were fermented with yeasts unique to each individual lot. Hand punch-downs extracted and elevated the Pinot Noir flavors and the wine was aged sur lie in French oak barrels for 11 months. SHAFER VINEYARDS Merlot 2008 Bottle £34.95 ROBERT PARKER 88 points 'The 2008 Merlot shows good freshness, mid-weight, not quite the flamboyance and intensity of the 2007, but lots of fruit as well as a seductive personality. It, too, should drink well for 7-8 years.' SHAFER VINEYARDS Syrah/Petite Syrah 'Relentless' 2006 £39.95 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 92-94 points 'The 2006 Relentless may be even better. It possesses an opaque purple hue as well as a grapy, smoky perfume displaying scents of roasted meats, blackberries, licorice, and charcoal. This packed and stacked, full-bodied 2006 should drink beautifully for 10-15 years.' Oregon DOMAINE DROUHIN Pinot Noir 'Willamette Valley' 2008/09* £22.95 Bottle The Domaine Drouhin wines have received world-wide acclaim from the press and the wine lovers year after year. The Pinot noir bottlings are frequently awarded "Outstanding" scores from the Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate critics. Try this new world Pinot Noir with grills and roasts, or with salmon and tuna. Jancis Robinson gives this wine 17.5 points and says, "Mid crimson – quite a bit of blue still. Intense with a bit of oak on the nose – if someone told me this were German I would not be surprised. Leafy, round and very satisfying. A really, really nice wine with lots of ripe, lifted fruit on the palate but no specious sweetness. Slightly chewy end. Great freshness and lift. Very long."
