Always a solid Pinot from New Zealand. Lots of earthy notes on the nose. Cranberry, pomegranate and medium+ acidity on the palate. Really good juice for the price. 91 points.

New Zealand Trip; 2/10/2024-2/24/2024: Red color. Spice and cola aromas. Somewhat sweet cherry fruit with good acidity and citric lift. Simple and short, very ripe New World style.

Served room temperature in half-size carafe, not freshly open
Light garnet spread to the rim
Strong warm pepper and light cinnamon hits the nose first, dark plum and dusty wood floor. Not too complex, maybe the wine has lost it since first opened.
Peppery palate, with shallow footprints of cherry and tobacco.
Would love to try again in 5 years

Pretty nice and pretty standard NZ Pinot. Red berries, cranberries, sanguine orange, notes of citrus and hints of cacao and white pepper on the finish. Very fresh and bright. Drinks well now. Not sure whether it will improve with age.

Not sure i agree with the hype at least at this point in its evolution. Fairly short finish with not a lot of complexity. Again it is early so maybe it evolves

Well that is beautifully fruited Pinot. And good tension across the palate as well. Vivid and clear.
