The Carpenters Arms Wine List
|
| Whites |
| Borgese Bianco 2005
DOC Castelli Romani Cantine di Campoverde Surprisingly good for its price. A crisp dry white blend of Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, with a citrus aftertaste. £8.95 |
| Cuvee de L’Abbaye
Demi-sec Vin de Pays du Gers Les Producteurs Plaimont This is definitely more demi then sec, with a delightfully floral, lively taste. Good to drink on its own. £8.95 |
| Sauvignon
2004 Domaine Ribaute Vin de Pays d’Oc A fine well balanced Sauvignon with hints of gooseberry and greengage. £9.95 |
| Marsanne 2004
Domaine des Fontaines Vin de Pays d’Oc A great success with Tom. It spends time in oak, giving an interesting and delicious extra dimension to the flavour. £11.95 |
| Chardonnay
2004 Tyrell’s
Old Winery This wine has attractive melon and peach aromas, balanced by a subtle oak vanilla flavour with a clean, crisp and fresh finish. £12.45 |
| Chablis 2004 Domaine
Jean Marie Naulin An outstanding Chablis, with excellent acidity and good fruit. £15.95 |
| Rioja blanco
reserva “Cappellina” 2001 Marques de Murrieta The style of Marques de Murrieta’s white has changed: it is now softer with less aggressive oak, and lacks the slight oxidation it used to have. £19.95 |
| Santenay 2003 Domain
Claud Neuveau Fat and rich yet still retaining a nice acidity, because M. Nouveau stopped the malolactic fermentation in this vintage. A well balanced slightly smoky tasting delicious mouthful of proper white burgundy. £21.95 |
| Puligny-Montrachet
2003 Domain Paul Pernot Serious producer, delicious, classic white burgundy, with a bit of extra weight in this vintage £34.95 |
| Reds |
| Fontvignes Carbernet
Sauvignon 2004 Real varietal character £8.95 |
| Montepulciano
d’Abruzzo
DOC Colle Cavallieri 2005 Cantina Tollo It is utterly delicious, with masses of fruit, but also real vinosity. An excellent partner for strongly flavoured dishes. £9.95 |
| Hacienda Del Ray Carmenere This excellent Chilean has an intense nose of blackberries and blueberries. Great complexity on the palate yet abundant fruit and forward tannins. Delicious with all roast meats, game and strong cheese. £11.95 |
| Begerac AC Chateau
de la Colline Rouge 2003 The wine is supple, with fresh juicy fruit. It is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. £13.95 |
| Sur 2003 DO Navarra
Bodega Inurrieta Made from Rioja varieties Garnacha, Tempranillo and Graciano. This wine comes from a new winery set up in its own vine yards £13.95 |
| Rioja Tinto Crianza
2003 Navajas Another Spanish winner, but perhaps a smoother and mellower wine than the Inurrieta with slightly longer oak ageing. £14.95 |
| Chateaux Pomys Saint
Estephe 1998 A delicious, mellow, and mature Claret, with some bottle age from northen medoc. £25.85 |
| Chateauxneuf Du Pape
2003 Domain Bois de Boursan A fanastic example of this popular red made by a serious producer. £29.95 |
| Nuit St Georges “Aux
Crots” 2003 Fine silky texture, combined with the sunny richness of this vintage £34.95 |
