| 2004 Woodcutters Reach Merlot, Australia | £77.70/ doz | £6.48 /btl |
| Merlot 90% Shiraz 10%. This wine has plenty of plum and raspberry aromas over a layer of earth and spice. The rich palate is smooth and fleshy, punctuated by soft tannins and sweet berry flavours that linger on the palate. A rounded fruit-driven wine with a touch of spice, ideal with food. | ||
| 2006 Vina Carmen, Pinot Noir, Aconcagua Valley | £91.58/doz | £7.63 /btl |
| Carmen is the oldest and one of the greatest producers in Chile and this excellent value Pinot Noir holds up to this reputation. Ripe, smooth and luscious black cherry fruit lead to a soft and delicate finish. Drink with all kinds of cheese, dried fruits, salads, fish and red and white meats with delicate flavours and less seasoning. Suitable for vegetarians. | ||
| 2004 Viña Portil, Rioja Crianza | £96.57/doz | £8.05 /btl |
| The archetypal Rioja; smooth, mellow and perfectly balanced use of oak. Produced by the consistently fine Bodegas Palacio, originally founded in 1894. | ||
Under £13.00 per bottle
| 2006 Brouilly, Cuvée des Hautes Garanches | £107.67/ doz | £8.97 /btl |

| 2001 Château La Cardonne | £117.21/doz | £9.77 /btl |
| Mellow and fruity, yet has firm tannins and complexity. Top class Cru Bourgeois! | ||
| 2006 Moss Wood, Cabernet Sauvignon Amy’s Blend |
£155.40/doz | £12.95 /btl |
| From younger vines in Amy's Vineyard (formerly Glenmore, now renamed), this is a more affordable chance to experience the Moss Wood style. Mellow and more forward than the estate Cabernet, this is a complex, yet elegant bottle. | ||
