DetailsAuthor: Jancis Robinson Source: JancisRobinson.com Review Date: Friday August 19, 2016 Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2015 From a particularly close-planted vineyard next to the Whalebone Vineyard planted in 2004 and 2013.

Has a rustic, earth and brick dust character that charms, too. Very good.…
DetailsAuthor: Mime Bennie Source: Wine Business Monthly Review Date: July August 2016 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2014 Seriously good wine this – DNA of great Cabernet Franc wines with briar, salt bush, dark berries, pepper and clove spice, whiffs of seaspray in the bouquet.
