Red Reserve:
Stonehaven ‘Rat & Bull’ Cabernet-Shiraz
Wrattonbully, Australia, 2002/3
This wine is sourced 100% from the Wrattonbully subregion of South
Australia’s Limestone Coast. This new and exciting area is now
producing some of the best fruit in the entire region. The 2002 growing
season was cool and low yielding and it delivered something most
unusual – the Cabernet and Shiraz ripened at the same time in
Wrattonbully. This meant that a portion of Shiraz and Cabernet fruit
made acquaintance early in the winemaking process, enjoying cofermentation
in open fermenters, resulting in an integrated wine from the
very start. A great food wine – for red meat dishes, pork and pasta.
ABV: 13.5% Bottle: £22.95
Bays of Fire Tigress Pinot Noir
Tasmania, Australia 2003
Complex and premium Pinot Noir with aromas and flavours of ripe
cherry and raspberry, silky tannins with good length – an elegant and
varietal wine. Sourced primarily from the Tamar River sub region of
Tasmania, slightly warmer sites allow for some riper, sweeter fruit
characters. A great match with pasta, red meat, Asian dishes and lamb.
ABV: 13.5% Bottle: £36.95
Bonterra Organic Zinfandel
Mendocino County, USA, 2003/4
Fetzer vineyards are the world’s leaders in the development of organic
Viticulture. Their aim is to farm grapes without the use of pesticides,
insecticides or synthetic fertilisers. Deep purple in colour, with a
wonderfully rich, spicy palate. Sourced from Home Ranch, together with
the grapes from Blue Heron and Clock Springs vineyards.
ABV: 14% Bottle: £38.45
Glen Carlou Syrah
Paarl, South Africa 2004/5
A rich, dense wine with a strong, spicy blackberry and mulberry flavour
mingled with layers of toasty oak. Glen Carlou was founded in 1985 by
Walter Finlayson who turned it into one of the finest and leading wine
estates in South Africa. Shiraz is a relative newcomer to the Cape but is
rapidly proving to be capable of producing some of the best red wines
from South Africa.
ABV: 14.5% Bottle: £42.95
Torres Atrium Merlot
Spain, 2004/5
From 100% Merlot sourced from vineyards which form part of the

Italy, 2001/3
One of the great red wines of Italy produced from the Nebbiolo grape in
the Langhe hills of Piemonte in the Southwest. Rich and powerful with
attractive aromas of tar and violet, and a tremendous weight of fruit on
the palate, it is ideal with rich roast meat dishes. Aged in large
casks for at least two years, to develop complexity and smoothness on
the palate.
ABV: 13.5% Bottle: £31.95
