BUY THE WINE

Rebecca Gibb: This warm and dry season has produced a rich, savory wine full of woodsmoke, dried-fruit, and leather. Plump and round on entry, the tannins starting to dry out a little on the finish, so get on this one now if it is in your cellar. Just managing to walk the tightrope between complexity and a touch of Brett—but if you’re not sensitive to it, add on a few more marks. Drink now.
