Esk Valley

Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2017

Elegant new world Chardonnay made in one of the best NZ wine region of Hawkes bay. Slightly oaked that brings the vanilla out along with a butter popcorn balanced with citrusy grapefruit notes. One interesting note: hints of daiginjo sake on the nose; perhaps it’s the white flower or lychees aromas. Nice new world white. — 6 years ago

Trinity Hill

Gimblett Gravels The Gimblett Merlot Blend 2014

This has one of those brilliant, well polished high def née world wine noses.

Subtle fruit, yet so perfect the aroma.

A touch of salinity leads to classic Cab fruit, that hint of almond, those delicately placed petals on the palette, persimmon in the end game, with minty acidity and well focused tannin.
I’d say this wine has come together perfectly with time.

Hawkes Bay Pinot Noir 2015

Others say it’s oaky... I get a little but not in an off-putting way. For the $, this is incredibly solid. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any white meat bird. — 8 years ago

Te Mata Estate

Coleraine Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2021

This wine is of exceptional quality. While it may have been slightly premature to consume (released in 2021), it exhibited pronounced tannic characteristics. — 9 months ago

Te Mata Estate

Bullnose Hawkes Bay Syrah 2018

Deep ruby with lighter rim and lovely floral and spiced nose.
Tannins are silky smooth and well integrated.
Dark fruits on palate with balance of alcohol and acidity, AbV at 13% much lower than typical Oz Shiraz @14.5%
At 8 years this is likely at its optimal drinking age
Excellent Syrah from NZ.

RW Red Winery Vineyard Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

My last one of this vineyard and vintage and although my preference is to have 10 years from vintage for these, I couldn’t resist. Really nice dark berries and cherries are complemented by aromas of leather and aromatic wood. Bold tannins but smooth on the mid-palate and finish. — a year ago

Level 185 Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2015

A Kiwi SB with a citric punch, this excellent white has a floral nose, lemongrass and lime flavors up front, leading into a palate cleansing lemon zest finish. It went well with blackened tilapia and steamed green beans. — 8 years ago
