I am so excited about Californian wine production - it’s always a thrill to see these wines on our shores. This is pinot with power - smokey and meaty at the fore, which gives way to a dried cherry and pink flower potpourri and sweet baking spice. On the palate it’s silky smooth and delightfully shapely with some punchy acidity give the wine real get-up-and-go. This isn’t so much lithe and supple as it is round in the mouth; almost (but not quite) enough to be stepping outside the bounds of varietal typicity. Structured and bold but ethereal none the less.

Californian Cabernet Sauvignon from Woodbridge.A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Shiraz and Merlot, employed to add complexity and balance to the palate, some ageing in French and American oak barrels also adds to the flavour spectrum. Appealing red and dark berry fruit character reminiscent of cherry and currant, backed by warm vanilla tones on a long smooth finish.

The 2018 Hundred Acre Kayli Morgan Cabernet is a beautifully crafted wine from the esteemed Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Kali Morgan, based in the sunny hills of California, USA. This vintage exudes a deep, rich ruby hue with a nose of fresh blackberries, cassis, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine reveals notes of ripe plums, vanilla, and a touch of spice, all wrapped in velvety tannins. The balance and structure of this wine are impeccable, showcasing the impeccable craftsmanship of the winemaker. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant hint of cedar and oak. This is a wine that will continue to evolve and delight for many years to come. Enjoy it with a hearty steak or roasted game for an unforgettable experience.
