Community Tasting Notes 8

  January 13, 2017 - slightly subdued nose, ripe cherry and a decent hint of forest floor and a touch of oak and spice. Still quite fresh on the palate, a bit of spicy oak, then fades into cherry fruit and a good dollop of acidity leaves a long finish. A very pleasant NZ PN, maybe not top of the line, but still easy to drink and most enjoyable.

  May 21, 2014 - Quite well balanced. Chalky undertones with plummy flavours. Decent length. Decent wine for the price.

  February 4, 2014 - This wine was just not particularly good. Maybe I drank it too young, but halfway through dinner it was bracken and ashy. It's the sort of wine I used to think was pinot noir before I drank better examples of the breed, Coldstream Hills for one, or even a Burgundian Cave de Lugny. Within the Saint Clair stable, the Sauvignon Blanc is a much better pick.

  November 30, 2013 - Good example of the less fruit-driven New World Pinots. Slighty peppery w raspberries and cherries. Very good nose and initially very promising nusnced palate which kind of collapses as there is almost no lingering. Good wine, very enjoyable but doesn't last.
