Stag's Leap Wine Cellars HAWK CRESTMerlot California
Description: Hawk Crest is the companion brand or 'house wine' of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Representing fine quality Hawk Crest wines have been handcrafted by the Winiarski family in the Napa Valley since 1974. Hawk Crest winemaker Mark Smith balances richly flavoured fruit from the central part of Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County with grapes from the Red Hills district of Lake County, which lies just north of the Napa Valley and is increasingly recognized as a wine area in its own right. The Lake County fruit contributes grip and structure to the blend, balancing the rich Paso Robles fruit and creating a wine that is accessible and full of character. The wine was aged for 9 months in French oak barrels, which provided complexity and hints of vanilla to support the wine’s wealth of fruit flavours. Hawk Crest consistently delivers distinctive, balanced and approachable wines that are ready to enjoy upon release and will continue to improve with age. This Merlot displays great dimension in the nose with aromas of blueberry, ripe plum and black cherry accented by hints of violet, anise, pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate, upfront flavours of black cherry, plum and dark berries mix with medium soft tannins, sweet vanilla and well-integrated oak. A rich, silky texture and long, lingering finish are the final rewards. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £154.46

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars HAWK CREST Cabernet Sauvignon California
Description: Hawk Crest is the companion brand or 'house wine' of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Representing fine quality Hawk Crest wines have been handcrafted by the Winiarski family in the Napa Valley since 1974. Hawk Crest winemaker Mark Smith draws on two distinct areas in California to craft this approachable yet well structured Cabernet Sauvignon. The climate and diverse soils of Paso Robles in California’s Central Coast provide bright red berry fruit, while the high altitude and volcanic soils of the Red Hills district in Lake County give the wine structure and depth. Additionally, small percentages of Merlot, for texture and mouthfeel, and Petit Verdot, for mid-palate grip and intensity, were also added. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels for added complexity and polish. An outstanding first impression with its vibrant ruby colour and distinctive aromas of black cherry, spice, black pepper and tobacco. This gives way to Silky tannins and dark cherry flavours that stand out against a backdrop of spicy notes and hints of vanilla. Perfectly balanced with a soft entry, well-integrated oak and a long, rich finish. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £154.46

Schloss Vollrads CREST LABEL Riesling QbA Rheingau
Description: The Crest Label Riesling is bright and light in colour with fresh, floral perfumes on the nose. It is clean and racy on the palate with light citrus and crisp apple notes, finishing with a lemon/lime twist. In addition, sulphur levels at Schloss Vollrads are much lower than in most German wines because of the estate’s meticulous approach to hygiene and their eschewal of the use of suss-reserve. With nearly 800 years of viticulture experience, Schloss Vollrads is one of the oldest wine estates, not only in Germany, but probably in the world. Situated in the heart of the Rheingau, the estate’s 60 hectares of vineyards are planted exclusively with Riesling. The quality of the Schloss Vollrads wines is the culmination of the work done by Rowald Hepp since 1997. They have pristine Riesling flavours, unmarred by the addition of suss-reserve, stunning perfumes, great length, balance and a weight that derives from the natural ripeness of the fruit rather than sugar. The wine is sealed with Vinolok, a glass stopper that is, according to winemaker Rowald Hepp, every bit as good as Stelvin, especially for aromatic varieties like Riesling.
