4/10/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRThis bottle was much better on the second day. The cherries were falling from the glass, smelled while the glass was on the table. Black fruit on the palate made me think it was going to be a fruit bomb, but the leather and smooth tannins made that thought disappear. Longish finish. Thick and luscious. Better than my last bottle. |

2020 Quartz Reef Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Bendigo EstateCentral Otago Bendigo more |
3/25/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRHad a lovely after work meet w wine makers rudi and Tucker. Bought this and enjoyed a few days later. Despite its youth, it is approachable now, but know it will be way better given several years. Bright and lively w great structure, a depth of ripeness that accompanies bendigo region. Medium tannins and long finish. Decant but preferably hold for at least 5y. |

3/24/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRGiven to me by Rudi of quartz reef, altho he may deny it. Upon opening there was a reductive note that faded. Excellent structure of Bendigo region. Nice long finish. Good wine, improving over 2d. Pip of quartz reef nailed the bottle cold, very impressive!! Had at the picnic table at the end of the day outside an unspecified winery. Very memorable day. |

2018 Kelly Washington Pinot Noir Gibbston ValleyCentral Otago more |
3/22/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRHad at bannockburn beside carrick excelsior and valli bendigo. This is from different area, gibbston, cooler and the wine shows early bricking. The nose more floral and red fruity. Much lighter, med body. There is soft earthy aspects but this wine I set aside after tasting as it didn’t stand up the the flavourful meal but was perfect afterwards. Would be great before or as standalone. |

Tannins are soft (already, this wine made for early consumption?). Finish is med-long. Quite enjoyable and good for a restaurant setting. Interesting to know how it would age. |

3/9/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRHad in Geraldine NZ. Abt 30 nzd. Was a nice drop. Agree, there is a cherry note on the nose which is a pleasant sour cherry note on the palate. Earthy afterwards and a medium finish. Excellent for the price. Paired with chicken baked w olives and red pesto; fresh herbs, chard, and beans from my Airbnb host. Thank you Yanna. |

2013 Burrowing Owl Cabernet SauvignonOkanagan Valley VQA more |
2/14/2024 - nanoose wrote: NRPerhaps stating the obvious, this was an improvement over the ‘14 painted rock CS i recently had. Nose of ripe cherry, dark fruit and some cedar. On the palate the cherry note is prominent but sharp, and short. There is some heat still present and the tannins are pleasing. Had w tomato based pasta, which hid the alcohol and softened the tannin. |
