Meaty aromas with black cherry and currant fruit and black licorice. Plum and prune on the pallet with a note of dark chocolate. A touch of black pepper spice on the long and leathery finish. Powerful yet elegant. — a month ago

This wine is outstanding. So soft and slight, but full of delicate nuance and depth. On the nose there’s that lovely petrol or rubber note that opens you up to the sweetness of the wine, but when you taste the attack is so gentle and the acidity so perfectly balances the rounder fruit notes that you end up with this magically cleansing lively mouthfeel. Ideal for Asian cuisine. This wine is perfect for adventurous curious drinkers to bring to their friends who swear they only like Sauv. Blanc. Dry and crisp enough that they’ll like it, but different enough that they’ll experience something new. — 9 months ago

Dark, juicy, white pepper, cigar box. Voluptuous tannins and plenty of length. Delicious way to end harvest. — 2 years ago

This is all Walla Walla fruit. Not sure why Delectable lists it as Willamette Valley. Anyway, this is 59% Cab Sauv, 24% Cab Franc, 17% Merlot. Bought at winery two+ years ago. Drinking beautifully right now. Deep, fragrant nose. Ripe cassis and blackberry, smokey gravel, humus. Intensely rich attack, with tons of fruit tempered by the smoky, savory notes Walla Walla is known for. This is a deep-toned wine. Bass and baritone. Still a fair amount of tannin, noticeable as the extended finish sails on, but it’s very fine-grained tannin. Terrific. Can’t wait to see how it shows with grilled strips. — a month ago

Blackberry compote, plum, and blackcherrry. French oak aromas add depth. Nutmeg and anise too. Round and bold, with dark berry fruit. Black licorice carries through. Tannins are still persistent. Masculine finish with a unique sasparilla note. Drink now, but no rush. — 7 months ago

Strawberries and rustic on the nose. Woodsy and bright like a punchy Beaujolais. Tastes more like a heavy, hairy-chested, baritone rose than a "proper" pinot noir. Mellows nicely over 1-2 controlled days and served on the cooler side. A good role player for under $15. — 2 years ago

This was absolutely delightful - a memorable wine for a chilly day. Tasted like being swathed in velvet - a bouquet of berries... — 2 months ago

Mid crimson in colour with a tawny rim. This Individual vineyard Target Gully is only produced in exceptional vintages, like Pipeclay Terrace. Notes of black plums, cherry earth and florals, mainly violets. Just medium weight but with great intensity on the palate. Good restraint as many Otago Pinots are Pinots for Shiraz lovers. Oak influence has been totally integrated. A very good PN but it is definitely new world. This is one of the most medium bodied Pinots from Central Otago I have had. — 3 months ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат вишневого варенья, бальзамика и ванили. Остаточный сахар отлично балансируется высоким уровнем кислотности. Приятное во вкусе. Занятное вино. — 2 years ago
