"Pristine and brightly expressed with sweet cherry, strawberry, floral, olive and subtle oak characters, its succulent and fleshy in the mouth offering excellent fruit purity and persistency. Splendidly framed by polished tannins, finishing long and velvety. At its best: now to 2025."

"Delightfully ripe and fragrant, the wine shows dark plum, floral, toasted nut and subtle spice notes on the nose, leading to a succulent palate that’s youthfully fruited and immediately appealing. It’s juicy and supple with plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2023"

"Delicately aromatic pinot noir with floral, violet, black cherry, fresh herb and spicy oak flavours. A silken-textured wine, with bright acidity helping to drive a lengthy finish. Good value at this price."

"There are cherry and plum notes that dominate on the nose of this pale ruby-coloured New Zealand Pinot Noir, with secondary mushroom, earth and white pepper notes typical of the grape. It’s light-bodied and dry, with tart cherry and raspberry flavours front and centre, some secondary cocoa and white pepper/spice notes and light tannins on the finish. A good bet for festive fall fare, be it turkey or ham. 3.5 stars"
