🍷 BLACK HILLS NOTA BENE 2024 | 94 POINTS A spectac 🍷 BLACK HILLS NOTA BENE 2024 | 94 POINTS
A spectacular pairing of Black Hills Estate Winery’s 2024 Nota Bene Hiatus Collection with roast beef!
This Bordeaux-style blend of 43% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc brings together Walla Walla power and the elegance of Nota Bene.
🍇 Tasting Notes
Enticing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, dried herbs, graphite and delicate floral notes.
The palate is rich and layered, with cassis, ripe plum, espresso, dark chocolate and savoury earthy undertones. Initially firm tannins soften beautifully with air, revealing the distinctive mineral character of The Rocks District and a long, structured finish.
Aged for 18 months in French oak, 44% new. Just 1,567 cases produced.
🥩 Food Pairing: Roast beef is a natural match for the wine’s concentrated dark fruit and structured tannins.
Decant while young or cellar for the next 10–15 years.

Sourced from East Bench Vineyard and aged for an impressive 24 months in 100% new American oak, this limited-production Syrah delivers aromas of violets, exotic spice, black cherry and ripe plum.
Rich blackberry and dark plum flavours mingle with caramel, licorice and cracked pepper. Silky tannins lead to a long, powerful finish.

The perfect pairing for our Balinese red snapper with a fiery sambal oelek kick!
2025 @nobleridgewinery Classic Pinot Grigio | $21 | 91 Points

Hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel, this refreshing Pinot Grigio offers crisp aromas and flavours of pear, fresh apple and a splash of lemon. Bright acidity leads to a smooth, clean and dry finish.
The surprise? This Pinot Grigio easily handles the heat of the spicy Balinese snapper! Its refreshing acidity and juicy orchard fruit balance the fiery sambal beautifully without overpowering the delicate fish.

🍷 Lightning Rock Chardonnay Meets Pork Tenderloin! 🍷 Lightning Rock Chardonnay Meets Pork Tenderloin!
A delicious pairing of Lightning Rock’s 2024 Dry Lake Vineyard Chardonnay with pork tenderloin, balsamic onions and juicy Bartlett pears. 🍐
Sourced from Washington’s Lake Chelan AVA, this beautifully balanced Chardonnay was cold barrel-fermented and aged for 10 months on its lees in French oak (21% new). Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
🥂 Our Tasting Notes
Subtle aromas of ripe pear and stone fruit mingle with vanilla and baking spice. Meyer lemon, orchard fruit and honeysuckle shine on the palate, while gentle oak adds texture and roundness. Fresh acidity delivers a precise, elegant finish.
The wine’s orchard fruit and creamy texture complemented the pears and tender pork, while its bright acidity balanced the richness of the balsamic onions.
