" Working in the vines and winery is really rewarding. Much more rewarding than working in an office. You just go out, breath fresh air, work with your vines, and drink a bunch of delicious red wine. Tasting the fruit of your labour with friends, family, visiting strangers etc is far more fun than ever imagined."

Superior French wine with the best of the New World added in! Pity it is not a little less expensive but any vintage is fit for any special occasion.

I was asked the question, would I buy this again. YES! YES I would - utterly delicious. Definitely, needs a good breath before hand. My husband was so enthused with it that I took that moment to tell him that I'd bought a share in the vineyard ....

It is difficult to find new things to describe such a block-buster of a wine.However...how about an open fire,sitting on a bear rug,me and one other special person and this wine! Just let your imagination flow!

This is the first wine I ever had from NWs. A brilliant wine, but a bit pricey for what it is; in saying that I do plan to buy another bottle!

We had this at our tasting last week and I have to say I'd certainly agree with the review on Jancis Robinson website:

“A perfume that made me close my eyes, just to breathe it in. Sweet damson, spiced dried fruit, figs and wet tea leaves. Rich and chocolatey, with plenty of dark plum tang and cinnamon. This tastes much more American than Languedoc – something that is more or less what I have noticed in all their wines. Very long. Velvety. Hedonistic.”

Although I'm not sure about the reference to it tasting more American than Languedoc. Ryan recently quoted something along the line of "when I'm in the vineyard I'm all French and when I'm in the winery I'm more American" can't remeber the exact quote but sums it up perfectly. Althought the O'Vineyards wines have a New World influence their backbone and strucutre are all French.
