Christmas Reds - Robin's Best Reds | Mixed Case

• a Bordeaux with a bit of age and
• a very popular, smooth Crozes-Hermitage, both of which complement turkey or beef
• a delightful Pinot Noir to match duck & goose
• a top class fruity Grenache which is great with ham, lean joints of roast beef and most fish
• a delicious Sangiovese that combines fruity and savoury flavours and pairs well with plant-based foods, and
• a beautiful New Zealand Merlot-Cabernet blend which will go with just about anything – and drinks well on its own.

2 x Château Caronne Sainte Gemme Haut Médoc 2015
Classic Left Bank Bordeaux with tannins softened by ageing in bottle. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot and the wine is warm and spicy with black and red fruit flavours and St Julien-type hints of cedar and graphite.

2 x M Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers Rouge 2022
Amazingly smooth & fruity Northern Rhône wine that’s 100% Syrah or Shiraz with a light texture reminiscent of a top-class Pinot Noir; this elegant, organic Crozes-Hermitage is fruit-filled with spicy and mineral notes. A great all-rounder!

2 x Castello Tricerchi IuLi’O Sangiovese 2022
Tuscan Sangiovese without any oak ageing, this wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks which means that the grapes retained their fruity flavours and aromas. It tastes of cherries with a hint of sweet spices and is very smooth.

2 x Can Sumoi Garnatxa Sumoll 2022
Another unoaked fruity wine this time from Catalonia. It’s a blend of Grenache and Sumoll, a local grape and is a light, fresh red wine that is very smooth, low in sulphites and fairly low in alcohol for a red Grenache wine.

2 x Main Divide Merlot Cabernet 2018
A soft, fruity blend produced in New Zealand by Pegasus Bay, this is a wine of remarkable complexity and depth with intense ripe black fruits flavours, savoury & spicy notes and a touch of chocolate plus a very rounded mouthfeel.

2 x Andreas Bender Pinot Noir 2022
Aromatic, light Pinot Noir that is soft and fruity in style but with a certain finesse and a silky texture. It tastes of ripe redcurrants and raspberries with a hint of vanilla and spices from the very light touch of oak ageing.
