Julien Miquel — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 21:50:58 +0000

Score: 92/100 Tasting Notes: Appearance: very dark, nearly black with purplish red hue. Nose: What is dominant is a very intense, fleshy fresh dark cherry character that feels very much alive, like biting in cherry just picked up off a tree in a warm […]

Score: 92/100 Marsanne and Viognier are the traditional white grape varieties of the Rhone Valley in France. It is rather unusual to find them combined in a single wine in New Zealand. That said, the country produces more and more Viognier wines. The natural aromatic character […]
