Roll over: Ferraton Père et Fils is a wine producer located in Tain l'Hermitage in the northern Rhone. It is best known for its red wines made from Syrah and its white wines made from Marsanne and Roussanne.
A ripe, languid style, with a creamy display of melon, fig, pear and quince flavors gliding through, backed by brioche and shortbread notes on the long, caressing finish. Flickers of matchstick and hazelnut in the background add intrigue. Best from 2021 through 2029. 130 cases made. 94 Wine Spectator
Roll over: Very tight and earthy, a worthy and unconventional Amontillado
The most aged of the Palmas series, Cuatro displays powerful, almost fiery aromas of caramel and briny stone fruits. The palate is so charged up and acidic that it's no walk in the park to get through, while nutty flavors of rancio and burnt toast finish with heat. Of all the Palmas wines, this is the one that shows afterburners.
Roll over: Nutty, citric and zesty on the finish
Intense, well-directed aromas are staunch, woody and suggest turpentine before pulling back. A lemony palate is loaded with citric acidity, which creates an electric mouthfeel. Nutty, citric and zesty on the finish, this is a superb artisan fino with a high level of complexity.
It's ready to drink now or in the next two to three years. Serve lightly chilled, ideally with dried jamón.
Roll over: Fino taken to the next level
Gold in color and ideal on the nose courtesy of alluring walnut, nutmeg and briny aromas, this elevated fino is both crisp as well as viscous. Flavors of almond skins, saline and dried apricot finish with purity and supreme confidence. This is fino taken to the next level
Roll over: Fascinating aroma and gorgeously flavourful with a sweet/sour finish
Pine resin and a light, oily brine character define the nose on this lithe, fresh fino. Crisp acidity and healthy weight mesh into balance on an easy-to-navigate palate. Flavors of almond, sea brine and toffee finish crisp

Roll over: 100% Hawkes Bay Chardonnay
The very first job of Chardonnay is to be refreshing.
A bouquet of purity and focus with scents of fresh red apple and peach, citrus and moments of pith. There’s a definitive layer of stone and clay mineral then soft barrel scents, lees and complexities from the synergies presented. Satin cream textures touch the palate first then flavours of citrus, apple and white peach. As the wine opens out in glass and becomes ambient the impact of acidity, ripe fruits and soil mineral qualities begin to emerge. Taut, youthful and dry, a lengthy finish with a fine mealy mouthfeel and developing complexity. Best drinking from 2024 through 2032. 95 points Cameron Douglas MS
Pair with good friends, crayfish, risotto, chargrilled chicken or well seasoned fish.

"For over 210 years the Henriot family has symbolised an innovative approach and has remained independent. This chardonnay dominant champagne house incorporates an exceptionally high proportion of Premiers and Grands Crus in its cuvées, which come from the best Chardonnay parcels. Producing only 1.3 million bottles a year, this family owned house features a long-aging style and a focus on Chardonnay. Says 8th generation managing director, Thomas Henriot: "I do not like wines that go in strange directions. I like to know where we are and where we are going. Full malolactic fermentation provides soft structures, with dosages between 8 and 11 g/L." Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide Pale Pink.
""Spicy baked red and blackberry nose with a whiff of struck-match. The palate offers almond cake and red berry notes and glimpses of butter, nuts and lemon macaroon. A very good rose to match salads and barbecued fish. High-pitched aromas of red berries, blood orange, ginger and chalky minerals, with an element of Asian spices emerging with air. Juicy, spicy and firm, showing surprising volume and very good energy to the spice-accented blood orange and strawberry flavors. This silky, penetrating, linear Champagne carries no excess fat. Closes on a dusty mineral note, with excellent clarity and length." 95 Decanter

"Henriot is a Champagne house for insiders – it does fly under the radar but produces exquisite Champagnes. For over 210 years the Henriot family has symbolised an innovative approach and has remained independent.

Producing only 1.3 million bottles a year, this family owned house features a long-aging style and a focus on Chardonnay.

Full malolactic fermentation provides soft structures, with dosages between 6 and 11 g/L." Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide
"Henriot in general aims for understated wines and like the regular Souverain, this is has a distinct yeast component but it's more restrained than the vast majority of examples in this review. The reserved nose features notes of green apple and white rose with the aforementioned yeast present only as a nuance that leads to crisp, refined and very pure flavors that offer both excellent cut and fine detail. It will also age extremely well and for my taste, I would allow it another 2 to 3 years first as it will repay your patience amply. Lovely juice." Burghound 92/100
Roll over: Rich and Intense.
Deep ruby. Pungent red and blue fruit and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of succulent herbs and white pepper. Lively, penetrating and appealingly sweet, showing good depth as well as detail to the black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors. Finishes long and smoky, with supple tannins coming in late. Vinous
Roll over: 100% Roussanne
This white Saint-Joseph wine is made from pure Roussanne, from mature rootstock that hails from the walled 4-hectare 'Clos Forentin' vineyard which the Chaves acquired in 2009. Fewer than 400 cases are produced annually and it is popular on export markets, as with many Chave wines. It has lovely almond and acacia flower scents and wonderfully-textured white stone fruit palate with a long, elegant finish.
In an amazing example of vinous lineage, the Chave family has been growing grapes on the hill of Hermitage since 1481. Today the estate is run by Gerard Chave and his son Jean-Louis and they produce some of the regions finest wines including a red & white Hermitage, a St-Joseph and a Côtes du Rhône Mon Coeur. Superb vineyard holdings including prime slices of Bessards, L'Hermite, Peleat and Meal in Hermitage, and incredibly high standards in both the vineyard and cellar, the wines are made in a very hands-off fashion and show great detail, nuance and regional typicity.
