Cabernet Sauvignon

 

The 2022 Lyeth California Cabernet Sauvignon truly expresses the character and depth of the varietal. With violets and raspberries on the nose, this wine shows strong flavors of rich, ripe plum fruit on the palate. The black fruit is seamless and elegant with fine-grain soft tannins and a long chocolate finish.

2023 AMERICAN WINERY OF THE YEAR - Wine Enthusiast

 

The 2021 vintage continues our signature profile of a slightly softer, and approachable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This rich and refined wine does not require years of further aging to achieve ideal balance and enjoy upon release. The full-bodied structure is a hallmark. The wine opens with stunning aromas of blackberry, black currant, and toasty notes of cedar; the palate is concentrated with bold, velvety flavours of black cherry and a hint of spice. Intense, concentrated fruit and fine grained tannins with beautifully balanced acidity extends to an elegant finish. Dedicated to producing small-batch, site-specific Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Stallion have built a stellar reputation for their age worthy, expressive wines with dense, dark berry fruit and medium high acidity.

92 Points, Wine Enthusiast (previous vintage)

This handsome, well-structured wine deftly balances refined black fruits and subtle oak spices against fine-grained tannins. It has an elegance and polish that sets it apart, from the minty perfume to intricate fruits and a long finish. Best from 2026–2036.

A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It's not the most sumptuous 2018 that you're going to find, but it's beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage.

Zinfandel & others

 

One of our top selling wines. In fact, Jancis Robinson has noted that it's, "possibly California’s best-value wine of any colour."

A pleasantly bright and lively red wine, plump with blackberries and black cherries. Secondary notes of wild mint, dusty earth and even a hint of mocha provide an alluring, grounded experience in the glass. Comforting and irresistibly familiar, this is one of the original and best known red blends produced in California. A ‘drink now, enjoy often’ wine that can easily be taken more seriously if the moment happens to demand.

Sangiovese

 

Younger, more accessible version of the Brunello, but already with an excellent structure and a great personality, Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione.

Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate's younger vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is aged in large casks and barriques before a period of bottle aging. The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello".

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with red berry notes. Very well structured, yet soft, long-lasting flavour with smooth, velvety tannins.

Ruby red color with purplish highlights and an tense, vinous bouquet, with hints of violets and cherries. A medium-bodied, fruity wine, to be enjoyed young.

91 Points, James Suckling (2021 vintage)

Benchmark Valpolicella. Others should take note. A thirst-slaking rail of salty phenolics, doused in tangerines and sour cherries, with a touch of garden and alpine herbs. Brisk acidity carries length, finishing with a kick of quinine. Delicious. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable
