Light red color...surprisingly so. Clove, cherry and touch of rose on the nose. Light, bright plum, cherry and strawberry on the palate. Not a big fan of NZ Pinot Noir but this is nicely balanced and drinking well.

(13%) Light on entry this one is juicy and upfront showing bright cherry and wild strawberry flavors. Orange rind notes emerge on a "heavier" mid-palate along with a clove spice note before a soft, tangy tannic, sour fruit finish that while a bit short is still nice as it fades away. A bit one dimensional and on the simple side but certainly well made. Pair it with some summer grilling and your likely to enjoy...

Well balanced fruity pinot from New Zealand. Medium purple color, notes of lighter red fruits...cherry and raspberry on the palate. Nose was light, not as floral as I would have expected. Good summer barbecue wine.

Nicely balanced, light bodied with an emphasis on bright red fruits.

Simon/Sandy dinner with Jason/Sandra, Eric/Katherine (Bettys): Bright cherry. Simple and upfront. No huge excitement.
