2007 Marimar Estate Pinot Noir Cristina
Dark red with a little fade at the rim. Big nose of cherries, cranberries and earth. Medium to full body with red fruit flavours backed up with spices and earthiness. A terrific Pinot with seemingly many years to go.

The 2007 K Syrah Morrison Lane is a big wine dominated by black fruits on the nose and palate combined with notes of leather and wood. Despite its boldness it is well balanced with an incredibly smooth, plush mouthfeel. Â While this wine showed no signs of breaking down, it is drinking beautifully now so we’d recommend not waiting too long.

2000 Woodward Canyon Artist Series (#9) Cabernet Sauvignon — Washington, USA
The 2000 Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon is yet another example of why we love this winery and its winemaking style. It’s a big, bold, complex wine, where the intensity is perfectly balanced and smooth with a very long finish. Dark red in colour, it was showing just the slightest age on the rim. Blackberry, black cherry and plum dominated the aroma while the flavour was a beautiful combination of fruit and wood with secondary notes of spice, earth and leather. Drinking brilliantly right now, it showed no sign of breaking down.
 Excellent/Extraordinary
