Château Saint-Maurice 2000 Côtes du Rhône, France, Case of 12 This 14th-century château, owned by the Bishops of Avignon for silk and wine production, is now home to Christophe Valat and his family.

Montana Cabernet / Merlot 2002/03 East Coast, Australia, Case of 12 New Zealand's answer to Bordeaux's classic red blend. The clear sunny skies and cool summers of the renowned Marlborough region benefit from a rainshadow and deep well-drained glacial soils. All these factors enhance the quality of the grapes and form the basis of a style more akin to French than a chunky Australian style. Jeff Clarke, Montana's chief winemaker captures the finesse of the berry fruit flavours. Red wine Waitrose Wine Red Wine Red Wine

Oyster Bay Merlot 2002 Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, Case of 12 Waitrose have asked the maker of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc to come up with a worthy red counterpart, and at last it has arrived. This fresh ripe Merlot from New Zealand's Bordeaux equivalent, Hawkes Bay, has fine juicy fruit with a hint of vanilla oak from barrel-ageing and gentle silky tannic structure. A satisfying apéritif, it would grace a Sunday roast. Red wine Waitrose Wine Red Wine Red Wine

Château Segonzac 2001/02 Premières Côtes de Blaye, Bordeaux, France, Case of 12 We have followed M. Herter's Segonzac wine for a number of years, but never has it been this good. Specially blended for Waitrose, this claret is now really one to rank with some of the very best from the top appellations, but at a fraction of the price. M. Herter has left absolutely no stone unturned in striving for quality. This is one to remind us that top-class claret can come from the less prestigious areas if the producer is inclined to respect Red wine Waitrose Wine Red Wine Red Wine

Château Les Sablines 2000 Monbazillac, Bordeaux, France, Case of 12 This wine comes from an area of France near to Bordeaux where sweet wines have a splendid reputation.
