Grey Sands Pinot Noir 2012
$98.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Richly flavoured and powerfully structured, this sleeper of a pinot has become an assertive, Volnay-styled wine of complexity and character. It’s heady and spicy, with layers of rich red and black berry/plum flavour that still retains some primary quality. Also sporting some faintly meaty, gamey development and underpinned by a firmish, grainy spine, it has developed length and power plus some remarkable varietal expression. A truly stellar and genuinely savoury wine, and one I did not predict would evolve into this standard. Happy to admit I was wrong!

Grey Sands The Mattock Dry Red 2016
$58.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A powerful, structural, textural right bank Bordeaux style with an astringent grip, texture, power and length. Dark plums, cherries, cassis and redcurrants are integrated with cedar/dark chocolate oak, with a hint of cigarbox beneath. Quite a sleeper, it’s still looking very young, and could use plenty more time. There’s just a hint of mint and menthol, but they are likely to diminish as it ages. Extraordinary value for a wine of this maturity.
