Cartlidge & Browne Napa Valley Pinot Noir
Napa and Sonoma, California, USA
1 x 75cl Bottle
Cartlidge & Browne sources fruit for their wines from vineyards across the North Coast AVA. Sourcing from this region gives us the flexibility to select only the best lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay from Napa and Sonoma Counties. Our wines range from big, bold, heavy reds to lighter-bodied reds and whites; with Cartlidge & Browne, you cannot go wrong as there is a vintage for every wine lover.
"The question that begs to be answered is why so many producers ignore what Cartlidge and Browne does better than just about anybody else in the state, produce fruit forward, pure, varietally correct, delicious wines." - Wine Advocate Magazine
Iona Estate 'Mr P' Pinot Noir
Elgin, South Africa
1 x 75cl Bottle
Certainly one of the most attractively packaged wines online, but its not all about appearances with this one.
A feminine nose of Morello cherries, strawberry, violet and cranberry.
The palate is light and attractive, raspberry, cherry and pepper spice. Velvety tannins and well balanced acidity lend an elegance to this wine which is often hard to find in Pinot at this price level.
It is a versatile style of wine which will fit white meat dishes very well. The producer is awesome and all the wines from Andrew Gunn's Iona Estate are worth seeking out. his Syrah just won a Platinum medal at the World Wine Awards - a feat achieved by 0.6% of 19,000 wines submitted!
Montsable Reserve Pinot Noir
Limoux, France
1 x 75cl Bottle
This wine comes from the French wine-making project of our good friend and Master Of Wine Fergal Tynan. He's originally from Celbridge and now has fantastic and fanatic wine making projects across the globe. Never far from Grenache or Garnacha, this particular set of wines comes from France and sits under the label they created called Terres Fidèles, which literally means "faithful lands". The team here have identified grape varieties that many others ignore in favour of middle-of-the-road commercialised styles; working with seriously small and tatty-looking plots of land, this is a labour of love and a project that will be years and years in the making before anyone makes any return on investment. But until then, we get the sensational fruit of their labours...! The wine is awesome and is aged in French Oak Barriques.
Solevari Reserve Pinot Noir
Tsibilsi, Romania
1 x 75cl Bottle
Back in 1988, three families decided to invest in a winery in Romania, starting with 650 hectares of slightly unloved vineyards and a rusty, once state-owned winery.
Yet Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have turned the Cramele Recas Estate into the most successful winery in Romania. Recas are now recognised globally for their impressive scale and breadth of fascinating wines, including natural and orange wine from organic grapes. Despite the scale the emphasis is on making good wines that over-deliver, and as a result they’ve struck on a magic formula that has seen sales and demand boom. Vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447 and more recent planting, whilst the winery has seen significant investment and boasts state of the art facilities where innovation thrives. Recas are in every way a modern, dynamic winery, whose open minded approach and quality sets them apart … a winery you really can’t ignore.
Purple red colour, with violet flecks. Intense red and black fruits (sour cherries, blueberries, cranberries) floral aromas. This has lovely acidity, a medium body, pleasant tannins, and a delightful slightly bitter and spicy finish. Excellent balance of aromas, alcohol and tannins.
Santa Macarena Pinot Noir
Leyda Valley, Chile
1 x 75cl Bottle
Santa Macarena Pinot Noir is a single vineyard Pinot Noir that is bright, aromatic and fresh with subtle oak playing a supporting role. The emphasis on the delicious red fruit flavours, drinkability and enjoyment. A seriously cool Pinot. It is a single vineyard Pinot Noir from one of the most coastal vineyards in Chile in San Antonio just 5 km from the ocean, within a small vineyard region 55 miles west of central Santiago and just south of Casablanca Valley. Morning mists and spring frosts, often associated with the Napa Valley and Bordeaux are brought from the west coast by the Humboldt current. Aging takes place in oak for six months to add complexity and oaky character to final wines. Final wines have a deep red- purple colour with delicate sweet red fruit flavours and aromas.
Domaine iCare Pinot Noir
Alignan, France
1 x 75cl Bottle
Pretty and enticing on the nose, with notes of boysenberry, cherry and fragrant, dusky florals. On the palate, crunchy dark cherry, cranberry and hedgerow fruit notes burst in the mouth and bring an immediate sense of freshness.
