Really enjoyed this. The nose is exactly what I look for in an NZ Pinot, it's one of those wines that you instantly love when you first dip your nose in the glass.
Smells absolutely delicious with a meld of boysenberry, black cherry, ripe red cherry, raspberry coulis, red fruit confectionery, vanilla, pencil shavings. Probably some whole bunch used. Fresh med(+) acidity, excellent ripeness of fruit, med(+) intensity, med(+) finish.

Pinotpalooza (Carriageworks, Redfern): Slightly confected but also gamey redcurrant, dirt, spice. Very slight sour and a little muted fruit with tight tannins. Hmm.

Medium garnet colour. Nose of sweet strawberry, and herbs. Very smooth wtih red fruits, folowed by light herbs. Not a long finish.

Attractive black cherry, almost candied nose. Medium to full bodied wine that lands mid palate. Enjoyable. Score [ 50 + 5 + 11 + 16 + 7 ] = 89.
