This is the very first time Cabernet Franc from South Bay Vineyard has been featured on its own in a bottle of Huff wine, which goes to show what an exceptional vintage 2016 was. The wine spent 18 months in French oak, 30% of it new. The resulting wine is one Huff fans should be ...
Flesh pink in colour; same nose as the All Day Rosé, lightly floral, watermelon and raspberry but without the residual sugar on the palate resulting in a more elegant and balanced rosé with a floral note. 90 Points Tony Aspler – www.tonyaspler.com ...
This is a brilliant, fresh, classic cool climate pinot gris with a typical nose of peach, lemon, wet stone and herbs. It’s quite fine, juicy and tart, with some bitterness on the finish. Excellent length. It reminded me of pinot grigio from higher altitudes of Alto Adige in Italy. Tasted April 2018 90 points David ...

Not only does it have some weight and colour, it is well balanced, with enough fruit to enjoy now, and enough firmness to age. Nicely lifted, ripe and typical merlot with raspberry-plum fruit, florals and tobacco on the nose and palate. Very ...

The nose is expressive in the classic register, while the palate offers richness and depth, balance and composure. Great length, too. A fine wine, showing the class of the site and sage winemaking.

“he exotic nose of red licorice, binned apple with tropical fruit peeking through sets the stage for a bold and balanced Gris. Lively flavours on the palate—blood orange, lemon drop and white peach—give way to a balanced, refreshing aftertaste garnished with orchard fruit and mineral notes. It’s medium bodied with good mouth feel and oodles ...
“Tangy and spice-laden, this serves up a delectably well-balanced mouthful of flavour with pie cherry, black currant and red currant galore that’s preceded by aromas of toasty oak and char. Medium bodied and nicely textured, the racy finish delivers a persistent stream of cranberry and spice-infused strawberry mingling with supple tannin. This pours perfectly with ...
