"Silken smooth Pinot Noir in a relatively light style with plum, cherry and aromatic herb flavours.  Excellent value at this price."            

-    Bob Campbell, MW  (NZ)



"From the heart of Marlborough Country and a certified sustainable vineyard this steals your senses with that French earthy, gardens-at-dawn exotic touch which is fleshed out by fleshy cherry fruit gently warmed by vanilla and spice. Thickly, evenly textured, utterly seamless, a camelhair coat of cohesive components. She's definitely morphed since release, rounding out and blooming."  

- Glenn Gary Wine Team (NZ)



"Translucent ruby colour with a brick-red hue. Lifted aromas of cherry, strawberry, chocolate and subtle oaky spice. Medium-bodied. Good varietal fruit character on the palate, with dark cherries well balanced with chocolate and spice. Velvet texture. Long finish of dark cherry and earthy spice. "

"Supple, with very good depth to spicy black plum, wild berry and root beer flavors. Herb tones, cedary oak and lithe tannins linger on the stony finish."

- Andrew Lampasone, Wine Watch (US)

 

"A very good Pinot, now beginning to mature.  Distinctly flavoured, full bodied, with light oakiness and plumy, strawberry-like flavors."
