Atticus Premium Museum Syrah
Still very youthful, the quality French oak riding high in the saddle. This is a wine of excellent quality, ticking every box. Its texture and balance are admirable, the varietal character likewise.
Luminosa Cabernet Sauvignon
Vibrant red with purple hues. The elegance of this wine cannot be understated. Vibrant aromas of ripe raspberries, mulberries and blueberries are complimented by subtle French oak char and hints of graphite. A warm, dry vintage and perfectly ripe whole berries enhance the aromatics of fresh mulberries, plum, blueberries and cherry. While the nose leads with dark and brooding fruit initially, the palate is medium bodied, elegant, velvety, yet tense which can only occur in the best vintages. An intense, balanced wine which will stand up for decades.
