The first vineyards were planted in 1975 and the first vintage was in 1982. Jasper Hill is best known for producing concentrated Shiraz from ungrafted vines planted deep into ancient basaltic rock soils. The estate has a total of 24 hectares (60 acres) of vineyard land split between three properties – Emily's Paddock, Georgia's Paddock and Cornella Vineyard. These are planted to a range of varieties, including Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Nebbiolo, Semillon, Viognier, and Grenache. The vineyards are farmed organically, biodynamically, and with no irrigation.\\n\\nHeathcote is a prestigious wine region in Central Victoria, an hour and a half's drive from the state capital, Melbourne. Shiraz is the unchallenged king of Heathcote wines, making world-class, award-winning wines characterized by their rich and deep aroma profile, a dark, almost inky color, ripe, velvety tannins and an amazingly long finish.\\nThe region is sandwiched between Bendigo to the west and Goulburn Valley to the east, with the state border with New South Wales a little way to the north. Vineyards lie in a narrow strip on the sides of the Mount Camel hills, where elevation plays a big part in the climate, as do cool winds from the south. Heathcote summers are comparatively mild, resulting in an extended growing season. The ripening of the grapes is slow and steady, allowing an almost optimum phenolic development – one of the reasons why Heathcote produces such high-quality wines.\\n\\nShiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World.

The feel across the palate is poised, succulent, bracing and sophisticated. It is grown on the alluvial gravels down on the Waimea Plains, from Marama Vineyard, owned by Brett and Anna Woodwiss.

Neudorf was founded in 1978 by Tim and Judy Finn, who experimented with what was then unknown wine territory, building a thriving winery that is now famous for its wines made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. The Finns were pioneers of organic farming in New Zealand and their wine-making philosophy is one of minimal intervention.\\n\\nTiritiri is a new brand from Neudorf which collaborates with named, hand-selected growers in the Nelson region to make excellent wines. All wines are created from single vineyard which are committed to low cropping. \\n\\nNelson is a small, wine region at the northern end of New Zealand's South Island. Surrounded on three sides by mountains, it enjoys a unique mesoclimate that is perfect for aromatic grape varieties. Wines made from Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer are considered to be some of the best in New Zealand.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons.

The combination of a distinguished winemaking family, the reinvention of a much-maligned wine region, the unlocking of the potential of a mature vineyard and a general sense of creativity, have all contributed to a strong currency. \\n\\nCorymbia is the newish project of Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann family, of course, are generational wine producers in WA, with a history of iconic wines and vineyards. Rob, formerly working with Hardys, Cape Mentelle and Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley, has returned home and made a mark.\\n\\nThe family vineyard in Swan Valley is dry grown and organically farmed. While winemaking draws on the Manns’ suite of expertise and diversity of influences, it has been pared back for Corymbia, letting the fruit and character of the wines take the spotlight. \\n\\nThat Swan Valley has been put on a pedestal is wonderful, and a celebration of older vineyards, unique soil profile and a general sense of generational endeavour is exciting for the region. There’s an undercurrent of winemakers amplifying the region’s potential, but arguably Corymbia is the current totem.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nHuon Hooke \\\u0026quot;The Mann family are winemaking royalty in Western Australia.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nCorymbia is a new winery launched by one of founding families of Western Australian wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Ausyralia's oldest wine growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Coymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bernie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is pitch-perfect, medium weight, highly perfumed, and shaped with beautifully ripe tannins.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted. \\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017.  Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds. \\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon.  The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. \u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":[null,4,\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"],\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='[null,0,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":234}[null,236,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":304}[null,501,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":521}[null,776,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":792}[null,987,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1001}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Neal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Falstaff Magazin \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver, International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeff Leve\u003c\/strong\u003e “...Soft, polished, round and with fruit to spare, this is showing great today and will only get better with time...floral nuances to the licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoky overtones. ”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e “...Elegant and cohesive, this is a fine Margaux .........crushed violet and incense infusing the vivacious black fruit.

The Chateau is based in the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux, where it produces both white and red wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white wines of Château Carbonnieux were seen as some of the top wines of Graves. Historically it was known that there were two original leaders in terms of winemaking in Pessac-Léognan – Château Carbonnieux for white wines and Châteaux Haut-Brion for red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1953, 14 châteaux from the Graves region were honoured with the title of “Crus Classés” (Classified Growths), either for their white wines or red wines or both. Château Carbonnieux was renowned for both it’s red and white wines. There are only 6 Châteaux (Bouscaut, Chevalier, Latour-Martillac, Malartic-Lagravière, Olivier and Carbonnieux) among the 9000 wineries from the Bordeaux region that have a classification for both their red and white wines. The 14 “Crus Classés” from the Graves region have been in the Pessac-Léognan AOC since it was created in 1987.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePessac-Leognan is a prestigious appellation for wines produced in a particular area of the Bordeaux region of south-western France. A relatively new appellation, it was carved out of the Graves sub-region in 1987 – recognized in its own right on the merits of its high-quality red and white wines. This was a significant change, as many of the chateaux in what is now Pessac-Leognan were the best performers in the Graves Classification of 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSauvignon Blanc – Semillon is a classic Bordeaux white wine blend. It is most widely produced in France, most notably Bordeaux's Graves district, where both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are well-established varieties. It also has more recently caught on in Australia, particularly Margaret River.

The vineyard boasts 70-year-old Grenache vines which are deeply rooted in the pebble stones overlooking the picturesque lakes of Petite Camargue. The vineyard also features Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, and Cinsault, and is known for producing unique, high-end, elegant wines of excellent value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost).

Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrenache is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States and is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world. Grenache is the French name for the grape, but it has a number of synonyms. In Spain, where it is one of the country's flagship varieties, it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia it has been known for centuries as Cannonau. In France, Grenache is most widely planted in the southern Rhone Valley and throughout both Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. It is most commonly found alongside Syrah and Mourvedre in the classic Southern Rhone Blend (notably in Cotes du Rhone wines), and is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos des Centenaires","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39491344007319,"sku":"CDC-GREVLV19-7506","price":63.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/CLOS_DES_CENTENARIES_GRENACHE_VIELLES_VIGNES_OLD_VINES_RED_2019_-_SOUTHERN_RHONE_FRANCE.jpg?v=1775444641"},{"product_id":"giant-steps-tarraford-vineyard-chardonnay-2019-yarra-valley-victoria-australia","title":"Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay 2019 ~ Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;95\/100 The Wine Front\\n94\/100 Wine Spectator \\n93\/100 Nick's Wine Merchants\\n95\/100 James Halliday (2018 vintage)\\n94\/100 James Suckling (2018 vintage)\\n94\/100 Wine Spectator (2018 vintage)\\n93\/100 The Wine Front (2018 vintage)\\n94\/100 The Wine Front (2017 vintage)\\n92\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2016 vintage)\\n96\/100 The Wine Front (2015 vintage)\\n\\nMike Bennie (The Wine Front) \\\u0026quot;Huge mineral feel, indeed, you’d paste this into the section under ‘Wine; Minerality’ in an encyclopaedia.

All are characterised by deep colour and lifted ripe fruit. Ripe fruit notes of dark plum and cherry along with background vanillin oak. Rich in colour with deep red tints, due to the low yield and low juice-to-skin ratio. Dry ripe tannins give perfect structure and carry the sweet fruit right to the back palate.

On the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island is the independently owned, family-run, Te Mata Estate. Owners and staff still work on vineyards that began growing Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir back in the 1890s, making it the country’s oldest wine estate. Since 1905, this winery has been winning gold medals globally, which led to these sites becoming the country’s first to be protected by law due to their viticultural history. Te Mata Estate wines are currently available in 45 countries and have been presented at some of the world’s top tables— including to President Barrack Obama, President Xi Jinping, and Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nRaymond Chan \\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;Te Mata Estate was the standard by which every other wine producer could be judged against, as the full range of styles has always been impeccable. In the earlier days, Hawke’s Bay was the scene of New Zealand’s quality wine, so it was very apt to have Te Mata Estate as the point of reference. Even when other regions developed, and Marlborough grew larger, and other varietals such as Pinot Noir became important, one could understand the state of the New Zealand wine industry by how Te Mata Estate behaved or reacted to influences, whether internal, or international.\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nTe Mata Estate is regarded as one of New Zealand’s most important wine producers. It is New Zealand's oldest winery, oldest wine estate and has the oldest winery cellars in the country - in continuous operation since 1895. Coleraine is Te Mata's most acclaimed wine and is often regarded as New Zealand's best red wine. \\n\\nHawke's Bay is located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island in and around the cities of Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. This historic region has New Zealand's second-largest wine industry (after Marlborough) and is highly regarded for its red Bordeaux Blend wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay are all planted widely across the region. Over the years, the region has won international acclaim for its very high-quality Bordeaux-style reds and full-bodied Chardonnays. Syrah, produced in a classic European style with strong black-pepper flavors, is another grape variety thought to have great potential here.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon – Merlot wines are made from two of the world's most famous and most widely grown wine grapes. The pair form the foundation of many of the great wines of Bordeaux, where this classic blend (often dubbed \\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;Bordeaux Blend\\\u0026quot;\\\u0026quot;) is thought to have originated. For centuries, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have been the quintessential Bordeaux wine grapes, but their fame and popularity have now taken them far beyond the banks of the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde, to the furthest reaches of the wine world.\\n\\nIn California the blend is often labeled as Meritage – providing the producer meets the requirements of the Meritage Alliance. The Australian regions of Coonawarra, Margaret River and Yarra Valley are highly regarded for their unique expressions of the blend. A Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. \\\u0026quot;\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":501,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1075}{\"1\":1088,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1482}{\"1\":1499,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1800}{\"1\":1810,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2361}{\"1\":2377,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2967}{\"1\":2975,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":3427}{\"1\":3443,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":3728}{\"1\":3743,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":4019}{\"1\":4065,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":4844}{\"1\":4856,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2007 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Wine Challenge \u003c\/strong\u003e(2007 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 - Huon Hooke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 - Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Sam Kim \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Tom Cannavan \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTe Mata Estate is regarded as one of New Zealand’s most important wine producers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is an excellent bottling of Awatea, the younger brother of Te Mata's top red, Coleraine.

It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\\n\\nSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz. \\n\\nWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":157}{\"1\":159,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":177}{\"1\":289,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":304}{\"1\":620,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":634}{\"1\":980,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1006}{\"1\":1717,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1742}{\"1\":2086,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2103}{\"1\":3792,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":3793,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3808}{\"1\":4401,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960}}}{\"1\":4402}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is a graceful wine with a silky texture, red and purple fruits foremost; the tannins superfine, the finish lingering, the aftertaste fresh.
