  November 25, 2023 - Fresh crunchy redcurrant with a hint of spritz. Slightly earthy. This is not at all concentrated, but quite enjoyable.

  April 2, 2022 - Simple. clean, fresh pinot. Uncomplicated. Decent enough and acts as a good value replacement for a Bourgogne level rouge.

  October 18, 2020 - Very pale and light-bodied - a rather sprightly raspberry colour. An earthy nose, with light red fruits, especially wild strawberries. Zippy red fruit juice - strawberry and raspberry. There's a spritzy feel. A fruity yet earthy finish with a little black pepper. Nice.

  September 7, 2020 - Village ‘Hand Harvested’ label. Bought The Wine Society UK £9.95
  
  Bargain. Not the most elegant Pinot out of New Zealand but for sheer simple quality Quaffing, an utter bargain.
  
  Best had lightly chilled if for a summer’s day lunch. (Yes, there’s a hint of Gamay about it.)
  
  Very ripe fruit, crunchy tannins, finishes sappy Dry, not at all complex but wonderfully splendidly drinkable. Light body. Drink up before the meagre acid that’s there fades completely, I’m guessing KR doesn’t intend you to cellar this. New Zealand’s best value ‘Party’ Pinot? Probably
