Crisp and clean white with a medium body and bright acidity. A little reductive, with flinty notes alongside green apples, lemons, stones and seashells. Fresh.
Solid performance from this humble appellation the 2021 Croix Mouton exhibits aromas of sweet berries spices and licorice followed by a mediumbodied fleshy and atypically rich generous palate. It's a blend of Merlot with a mere 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Crisp pear, lime and grapefruit-pith aromas combine for a fresh and zesty entry to the nose of this bottling. The palate sizzles with acidity and grips with a chalky texture, giving way to grass, green-pear and green-pepper flavors.
90pts WS: A solidly built version, with crushed cherry and plum puree notes that meld with melted red licorice before singed juniper takes over on the finish. This has guts and range.

A very pretty Bolgheri red with currant, chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It’s full and layered with firmness and freshness. Tight at the end, with a lovely texture and finesse to the tannins. Drink or hold.
