Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$135.00“Another simply sublime edition of this great wine. The volume of fruit was down almost 60% but the small berry influence has added even more intensity and depth, if that is possible with this wine.

Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2018
$138.00It’s hard to express, but smells tighter, with some more noticeable oak. Plum, Daphne, creme de cassis, raspberry and brown spice.
