Brown Ranch is the top wine of Dick Ward from Saintsbury, we buy and import his wines ourselves and believe them to be some of the best in the whole of the USA. With an intense and complex nose of raspberry, cherry, violets and smoky oak the palate is multi-layered with bags of potential. This wine is drinkable upon release but will reward patient cellaring and keep well for 10-12 years. Try it alongside a Grand Cru red Burgundy to demonstrate what great value these wines are.

• Feel free to mix Fine Wines with “regular” wines to make up your order of 12 bottles (or more!) in total. However, at least 6 bottles must be Fine Wine products, because Fine Wines require special distribution from our temperature-controlled Fine Wine Centre in London.
