  Damn. This was tasty as hell. Some real stuffing here, and vivid evidence of what New Zealand can do well with non pinot noir reds. Lots of smoke and spice on this one, a little bacon, and a ton of chocolate...really concentrated without being over-extracted. Well integrated, balanced, a wine for lovers of reds tired of ubiquitous pinot noirs. Did not realize this winery had such a huge lineup, and will actively seek out their other offerings.
