A dark yellow straw in the glass. On the nose notes of fresh pear, cut grass, and fresh breeze. On the palate, there is a hint of the age with delicate stone fruit, black tea and white rose petals.

Pale yellow straw in the glass. Typical NZ sauv blonc nose. Very acidic on the early palette but becomes more well-rounded in the finish. Notes of fresh green apple and bright pear.

Deep violet to dark purple in the glass. On the nose crimson red cherries, tobacco spice, and plum. On the palate, it is a bit bold, but the flavor is delicious. Higher in VA than other vintages. the tannins are well-rounded and short. The finish is medium to long but quite complex. Notes of ripe plum, oak, tobacco, and tart cherry.
