  Initially a little reticent but opens with time to show cherry over berry, both of a dark hued nature, supported by earth and sweet spice. More of the same on the palate, texture present, just beginning to show some tertiary characteristics. Okay.

  Decanted to help with screwcap reductiveness.
  Black cherry, a little ripe blackberry and plum that proves slightly jubey, plenty of sweet spice and cedar. in the mouth it's juicy and fleshy, the fruit very much forward, tannins are present and burred, a little non intrusive alcohol warmth helps carry the finish long. Quite lovely.

  Favourite wine from a bracket of 3 entry level South Island (New Zealand) Pinot Noir wines. Lovely strawberry nose, with some anise too. The palate is almost Nebbiolo-esque albeit without the tannin, structural, red berry fruits supported and driven by acid. Good length.

  I can see why this has a bit of a name. Boysenberry, vanilla, black pepper spice, eucalyptus and menthol, cedar. This is concentrated and rich yet bright and clear on the finish. An excellent wine and great value.
