"89/100 from Robert Parkers Wine Advocate “The Sauvignon Semillon blend is produced as a style to age with the blend usually consisting of about70-80% Sauvignon Blanc and the Semillon proportion being barrel fermented. The 2009 Sauvignon Semillon offers pronounced notes of ripe apple, waxy lemons, lanolin, pink grapefruit and green guava with a hint of damp slate. Medium bodied with a nice bit of silkiness to the texture, it has a good backbone of high acid and plenty of expressive citrus and yeasty flavors, finishing long. Drink it now to 2016+. “

91+/100 from Robert parkers Wine Advocate “Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2009 Pinot Noir offers a moderate intensity of raspberry, red cherry and pomegranate aromas at this stage with a yeasty / toasty undercurrent and a whiff of hung meat. The medium bodied palate is elegantly fruited with a medium level of fine tannins, lively acidity and a long finish. Still very young, it should drink best 2012 to 2017+.

An ultra low crop level has given this Chardonnay special concentration and length. 95/100 from Bob Campbell who writes - "Big, rich, powerful and very concentrated wine with masses of peach/citrus, mineral, roasted nut, bran biscuit and classy oak flavours. I particularly love the wine's sumptuous texture and lengthy finish. A no-holds-barred, super-classy wine that will repay cellaring."
They have adhered to the traditional winemaking techniques of the famous white wines of Burgundy, including natural primary and secondary fermentations by indigenous micro-organisms in the oak puncheons made by artisan Burgundian coopers. " Sublime - Limited availabilty.
