An 80-20 blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Extrait features dark notes of cola, black olive and black cherries. It's full-bodied and richly textured, with hints of cocoa on the tannic, drying finish. Still in wood, this will need a couple of years after release to round into form, and it should drink well for at least a decade thereafter.

About the Winery
Sister's Run

Sister’s Run is serious fun. Their talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.
Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then their winemaker and label took flight!
The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines they can from family vineyards. They don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.

A savoury, botanical expression of cabernet sauvignon with flavours of roasted red peppers, dried sage, juniper and red plum. I like the freshness of this vintage, the slightly green edge and acidity that livens the palate. Dry, cleanly made with liquorice and spice that linger on the finish of very good length. Best now to 2027. Tasted October 2023.

Lovely, mature right bank Bordeaux here, straight from the textbook with its gravelly, graphite, black fruit, tobacco leaf, and cassis aromas/flavours, as complex and inviting as many more expensive cru classés. The palate has been polished down to shiny-silky texture with acids firmly in place - this 2006 vintage has turned out to be a delight for fans of the classic style, more elegant and refined than blockbuster vintages, and all the better for it. Stately and aristocratic, and an amazing value for mature, ready-to-drink, quality Bordeaux. Continue to hold another half dozen years if desired, though I find it's at or near peak

Cortonesi

“I’m a lucky man who has been given the opportunity to realize my dream and continue my family’s efforts making wine in the land where I was born.” – Tommaso Cortonesi
Tommaso is third-generation winemaker at Cortonesi that owns some of the most prized vineyards in the north and south-east of Montalcino. Favourable geography, rocky soils, and ingenious winemaking all come together to create some of the region's deepest and most elegant Brunello wines.
The Cortonesi family has been making wine since the 1970s. At first, wines were made to be enjoyed by family, friends and neighbours, but then in 1985, Cortonesi had gained enough traction within their community that they began to offer their wines commercially. Today, Cortonesi remains a family business that continues to work according to tradition, while employing modern technologies to the enhance the quality of their production.
Lovers of Sangiovese must experience “La Mannella”, a collection of wines exclusively sourced from Cortonesi's private vine land. This farm covers 56 hectares, eight of which are devoted to the production of some of the world's most coveted and age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino.

'The Riserva' of Cortonesi, from the homonymous cru, with soils rich in clayand sandstone that give the Sangiovese shades of 'dark' and great gustatorytension. Nose of blueberries, with touches of lemon thyme and floral nuances, from gardenia. Juicy mouthfeel, brackish tannins, finish with fruity return.

'Not plush like Napa' is how Wade Metzer describes his blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah, made with grapes from the Steynrust area of ocean-influenced Firgrove. Fresh, delicate and ethereal, it would be an easy wine to underestimate, with raspberry and blackcurrant leaf flavours and scented 30% new oak. 2023-30.

This GSM blend offers up all the usual peppery, menthol and shrubby notes of Australian versions - quite lifted and spicy on the nose with cranberry-cherry fruit and juniper berry. It is open knit, generous, a touch sweet and warm. Loads of flavour, smooth and delicious, if just a bit exaggerated. I would chill it a bit. A touch pasty sweet on the finish. The length is very good to excellent.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a smashing success with an impressive array of red and black fruits on the nose with elements of spice and floral nuances that lift the experience to the next level. Wonderful expressions of dusty blackberry, cherry skin and baking spices compounded by aromas of pencil shavings, graphite and cigarbox sway with elements of red and purple flowers. Full-bodied, the wine explodes on the palate with succulent, dusty red and black fruit flavors before showing elements of dried herbs, elegant oak spice and youthful tannins across the mid-palate. The wine evolves over the long, lingering finish, showing complexity, precision and finesse. Give it a few years in the wine cellar before opening. Your patience will be rewarded. Bravo!

This is instantly appealing on the nose with dark plum, sweet cherry, warm spice and rich floral aromas, followed by a beautifully flavoursome palate offering supple mouthfeel backed by fine tannins. Comforting and tasty with a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2029.

About the Winery
Bodegas Exopto
Exopto is Latin for “to long for” or “to desire greatly” and it is the dream of Frenchman Tom Puyaubert and his family to endeavor to craft and assemble wines where the whole adds up to more than the sum of their parts. Tom relocated from France to Rioja in 2000 after falling in love with the region and working for the French cooperage Saury as its Spain representative.
When Tom began Exopto, he wanted to do a project that produced wines within this historical context of Rioja - combining both worlds in a unique way. His idea is to remain true to the blending of the principle grape varieties and to do so from the best terroirs/villages for those varieties crossing sub-regions of Rioja. Each wine though, has a majority of a different principle grape – showcasing that variety specifically within the context of a blend. The viticulture and winemaking model is that of the “vigneron” days – small plots of vines in the extremes, wild yeast fermentation in concrete or old oak vats and then aging in a way to showcase the fruit, minerality and terroir not the wood or aged flavours that people often associate with Rioja.

Distinctive aromas of briar, peppercorn and tarry fruit with mulberries and blueberries. Medium-bodied on the palate saturated with fresh, pulpy blue fruit and some lavender. Silky wrapping of tannins here. Maturana tinta. Drink now.

A joint venture benefitting the winery employees of the Mullineux and Leeu Family Wines, this project is aimed at improving the livelihood of the staff and their families through the profits generated by Great Heart sales. The label features a Cape Wagtail bird that bears a marking that resembles a heart on its chest plumage and is known for its acts of selflessness and courage in assisting others in South African folklore. Great Heart's red blend is typically led by syrah and this incarnation is notably expressive of the grape's peppery and generous nature. Full-bodied but not heavy, this engaging blend features delicate oak and fruit-derived spice, an abundance of black fruit and no shortage of personality. Lithe tannins, an undercurrent of freshness make for a gratifying textural experience. Excellent length. Best now to 2026. Tasted Feburary 2023.

Vassaltis was the dream and now life's work of Yannis Valambous who resurrected his father's vineyards and turned them into some of Santorini's finest tracts. As of 2012 the project has taken root, launched forward and come to a most profound and exciting place. The consulting oenologists are Elias Roussakis and Yannis Papaeconomou who along with Valambous drill down into the island's volcanics to create haute assyrtiko with the greatest sense of place. The barrel aged style is of course Burgundian but it is impossible to smother Santorini and fully assimilate assyrtiko. Richness abounds, intensity magnifies and here assyrtiko takes on a whole next level of purpose. The methodology does allow for movement not wholly restricted to the salty and the mineral but the wine shows no lack of those elements. In the end this is about as big and rich as the grape will get. Drink 2023-2028. Tasted January 2023

A bold and very expressive bouquet with scents of black berry fruits and pepper spices, anise, licorice and black currant. Lots of texture and spice with flavours of dark berries and baked red fruits, firm tannins and medium+ acid line. Plenty of weight and richness with a dry stone earthy quality, a core of berry fruit flavours and spices from the barrel and soil. Well made with medium+ length. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029.

What an experience! Will you love it? Who knows? But it is one these wine that engages and pushes boundaries. The basics are that Black Rock is a five-grape Rhone-inspired blend with 60% syrah in the driver's seat. It is from the arid Swartland that is perfectly poised for this genre. It pours fairly deep ruby-garnet with a touch of maturity. The nose shows all kinds of spice-driven complexity - pepper, cinnamon, cedar, along with wood smoke and licorice. And for fruit? Expect dried cherry/currant and olive. It is full bodied, intense, warm and very energized. A touch volatile but there is so much else going that the VA is hardly crashing the party. It is firm, fairly tannic and mineral, with excellent to outstanding length. Tasted Feb 2023

This vineyard near Okanagan Falls was originally planted in 1994. There are two Chardonnay blocks with differing exposures that impact flavour development and result in more complex wine. The winemaking technique was similar to the Old Main Road Chardonnay. The wine begins with aromas of apple, nectarine and vanilla. With a bit of breathing (or decanting), the expressive flavours [echo] the aromas. There is a lingering finish

These ancestor vines are some of the oldest shiraz vines in the world, dating back to 1847. They pump fruit of extraordinary concentration, balance and power into wines like this. In fact, the fruit is of such intensity, that the wine was left in new French oak for 2 years. And you certainly wouldn't say it was excessively oaky. Brilliant crimson red colour is the first indication of its vibrancy and life. Lots of dark spicy red fruit with a distinctive lively cherry and chocolate character. Wow. Drink date: 2022-2047.

A juicy and flavorful red but stays in check with blackcurrant, sandalwood, and berry. It’s medium- to full-bodied with creamy texture and a long, flavorful finish. Spicy with lots of Asian spices and cloves underneath it all. Drink or hold.

Substantial and spectacular, the wine shows blackberry, dark chocolate, spicy oak, smoked game and warm spice characters on the nose. The concentrated palate delivers outstanding depth and richness, gorgeously framed by velvety texture and loads of polished tannins, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2039.
