  Ok, I thought it was at its prime a few years ago and it turned out we had one more bottle. Janet is a Pinot drinker and she pronounced it still drinking very well. A little too light for my taste, but still very good.

  Nice New Zealand Pinot. It turned out much better than I thought since it should be past it's prime. It is time to drink my last bottle as well. It was a ruby red with a little fruit, pepper, earth and tannins. Medium bodied with a mid finish.

  We bought this bottle at the winery and hand carried back from New Zealand in 2010. We are now enjoying the fruits of our labor four years later with a crock pot roast beef with a balsamic / soy reduction. The wine is fruity and has held up well. It might be a tad bit past ideal drinking window but is still delicious.

  Dark ruby with cherry, raspberry, and baking spice. The palate is very bright with acidity, but still with good flavors. The finish is a touch short. A decent pinot, but not a great value.
