Les Belles Collines 與一般加州酒相當不同。許多加州酒因氣候溫暖,有時會出現高酒精度導致過於甜美,並且缺乏變化性的缺點。David 為了避免此問題,特地選在夜間到清晨,一天中最涼爽的時段,透過人工採收,降低氧化速度,維持果粒完整,並利用科學方式確認酚類物質已充分成熟,部分含梗釀造,因此展現出格外優雅的風味,單寧細緻柔美,酸度均衡。

Mourvèdre 2018 / Gold medal: ‘Lovely perfume, with violet, blackberry, thyme and rosemary, and a palate that’s full-bodied and concentrated, with some chocolate notes and a long, fresh finish. Great value too.’ ‘Ripe and fresh red and dark fruits here, with some real substance to the palate. This would make a good winter house wine.’
Sauvignon Blanc 2019 / Silver medal: ‘Greengage, citrus and floral notes lead to a fresh yet concentrated, citrus-led palate.’ ‘Juicy and fresh, with light mineral notes and some nectarine and red apple notes.’ ‘With light aromas of citrus, grass and spring flowers, this is a friendly summer wine with gentle acidity.’
Syrah 2019/Silver medal ‘Vibrant, juicy red berry fruit, with some floral notes and a touch of sage, all accompanied by some mouth-watering acidity.’ ‘A nicely coffee-oaked nose, leading to a nicely toasted black cherry palate. Sausages, please.’
Viognier 2019 / Bronze medal: ‘A great example of Viognier from the Languedoc in a good year. An aromatic wine with some fruit, and showing some great value for money.’ ‘With notes of melon, apricot and citrus blossom, this is easy and fresh.’ ‘Perfect – loving the balance of this wine.’
