Von Buhl Riesling Brut 2015 Germany
The Von Buhl estate has produced quality Riesling for over 160 years. Their wines have been served at many historic events including the opening of the Suez Canal and the Queen Mother's 100th birthday. Their sparkling Riesling is an elegant classic. Refined, fruity scents & notes of peach, apple and apricot, with hints of citrus. The taste is powerful, fresh-dry and lasts on the palate. A festive aperitif but also pairs deliciously with numerous nautical starters. 90pts James Suckling
Acumen Mountainside Red Wine 2014 Napa, CA
This full-bodied wine starts with fragrant aromas of black cherries, English roses, mocha, sweet earth, and fresh blackberry pie. On the palate, we find mouth-coating flavors of blueberries, Santa Rosa plums, and baking spices with a pleasant grip of ripe tannins coupled with notes of toffee, rhubarb compote, fresh sage and cigar box on the long and pleasant finish. The year 2014 is remembered locally in Napa Valley as “The Year of the Quake”, when a 6.0 tremor shook the region and affected the production of many wineries. Luckily, when there’s a will there’s a way and thanks to the much needed rain as well as the warm and gentle spring produced some of region’s top ranked wines is ranked as one of best vintages. 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec, 19% Merlot, 14% Cab Franc, 6% Petit Verdot
