June 25, 2022 - Dark ruby. A dustiness on the nose, some bramble fruit, baking spice, dark plum and candied cherry. Boozy and highly candied, smooth finish. It's heavy and quite dark for a Marlborough pinot - a very good wine.
Few years left. -

August 22, 2020 - A perfect, variety correct example of a New Zealand Pinot Noir. At just over $20 at Costco, this is an amazing QPR.

March 3, 2020 - Indigenous yeast fermented, with some whole bunch fermentation, and matured in French oak for 11 months. Fresh, medium+ intensity nose is earthy with beetroot, rhubarb, cherry, and spice aromas. It’s medium+ bodied and nicely balanced with lovely aroma replays, plus cran-cherry flavours, supported by fine-grained tannins that offer some structure on the back palate. Balanced throughout with a long, clean finish. Enjoy over the next 6-8 years. Score: 90+ pts
