  September 11, 2018 - Ok, I thought it was at its prime a few years ago and it turned out we had one more bottle. Janet is a Pinot drinker and she pronounced it still drinking very well. A little too light for my taste, but still very good.

  June 1, 2015 - Nice New Zealand Pinot. It turned out much better than I thought since it should be past it's prime. It is time to drink my last bottle as well. It was a ruby red with a little fruit, pepper, earth and tannins. Medium bodied with a mid finish.

  November 16, 2014 - We bought this bottle at the winery and hand carried back from New Zealand in 2010. We are now enjoying the fruits of our labor four years later with a crock pot roast beef with a balsamic / soy reduction. The wine is fruity and has held up well. It might be a tad bit past ideal drinking window but is still delicious.

  October 5, 2013 - Dark ruby with cherry, raspberry, and baking spice. The palate is very bright with acidity, but still with good flavors. The finish is a touch short. A decent pinot, but not a great value.
