Chardonnay The Lane is awarded 4****
Unwooded Chardonnay The Lane 2008
"This untouched Chardonnay, from one of the area's top producers is a fine effort. There's white flowers, stone fruit and lme on the nose, while on the classy palate there's loads of apple and citrus flavours, with a long , fresh finish." 4****

JJ Prüm receives 4**** by Decanter
Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett Joh Jos Prüm 2009
"This is the best known branch of the extended Middle Mosel Prum family. From top sites in Wehlen and Graach, Dr Manfred Prüm and his daughter Katharina craft the most extraordinary wines: light yet intense and rapie-like, amazing examples of how much flavour can be packed into light-bodied and low-alcohol wines... The wines are almost imperishable... Delicate lifted floral nose. Lean but juicy, with fine acidity and concentration, and great persistence." 4****

HdV Chardonnay a "Champion" Wine
HdV Chardonnay Hyde de Villaine 2007
"Another Carneros champion white for a special occasion, try Hyde de Villaine Chardonnay, Napa Valley 2007. Flamboyant and intense with heady stone fruit flavours, a ripple of lemon curd, mineral purity and a toasty, long finish - it's a French Meursault with an American accent."

Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon "Utterly delicious"
Cabernet Sauvignon Cakebread Cellars 2008
"Cakebread Cellars (don't you just love the name?) produces ripe, generously charged cabernet sauvignon. Try Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2006 (£49.99, www.corneyandbarrow.com). It's absolutely delicious, with buckets of blackberry, cassis, fig, a hint of dark chocolate and spice. Firm tannins and great structure place this red in a league of its own."
Sam Wylie-Harris, Kidderminster Shuttle
