8/22/2023 - biggie Likes this wine: 91 pointsFlower Day - nose is red flowers, spice (white pepper?), dark plum, shoe polish and sweet pipe tobacco. On the palate it enters ripe and soft with flavours of ripe dark fruit (blue and black), soft leather and red flowers. There’s medium plus acidity, medium to full body and med ripe and soft tannins. There’s so much fruit the acidity is subsumed and not noticed unless you look for it. The finish is medium in length with the ripe fruit, spice and ripe tannin continuing. |

7/6/2023 - biggie Likes this wine: 89 pointsFlower Day - translucent garnet core with a ruby edge. Nose of red flowers, wet clay, light savoury herbs and spice. On the palate it’s medium bodied with medium plus acidity and savoury flavours of herbs, cranberries, spice (white pepper) and sour cherries. The medium length finish is also savoury with the spice, red sour fruit and some minerality continuing. This is a very good food wine for roasted poultry, rich salmon (Spring/Coho/Sockeye - I would serve it slightly chilled in this pairing) and heavier Umami dishes (mushroom or squash based). Drink now or for the next 2-3 years as it’s under screw cap and won’t develop. |

6/13/2023 - biggie Likes this wine: 89 pointsLeaf Day - Showing much more the traditional style of NZ SB today - more towards the gooseberry and herbs and less of the pink grapefruit flavour I usually associate this wine with. Still tasty. |

12/27/2022 - biggie Likes this wine: 90 pointsFlower Day - Lemon coloured with green glints in the glass. The nose is full on tropical fruit - guava, passion fruit, star fruit with some herbal elements as well as gooseberry. On the palate the entry is rich and round with the star fruit and passion fruit first followed by gooseberry and pink grapefruit. Then comes the herbs followed by the guava and even a little banana. There’s lots of acidity to balance the huge fruit flavours making it a rich but balanced beauty. The finish is medium+ in length with gooseberry, pink grapefruit and starfruit being the main flavours. Well done! Not elegant but delicious! |

10/7/2022 - biggie Likes this wine: 90 pointsLeaf Day - Pale garnet core to edge. Nose of smoke, red fruit (cherry with raspberry), savoury herbs and wet rock. On the palate the soft red fruit is noticed immediately, followed by the smooth texture (although there’s nice ripe tannins and medium plus acidity) and then the rest of the flavours of spice, herbs and crushed rock. I really enjoy the spice/herb mixture on exhale. There’s some warming alcohol on the finish and a hint of pleasant bitterness on the back palate. Very much a food wine for me at this stage of it’s evolution. |
