Opened for my 80th birthday. Wow, at its peak, deep cherry colour, fresh, vibrant, complex with amazing depth and flavours, a long aftertaste. So tasty. — 9 months ago

Totally love Gimblett Gravels Reds & this is one of them. Beautiful array of dark berry fruits, dark chocolate, a spec of bakery spices, a dash of savoury goodness and fresh silky tannins. — 7 years ago
So bloody good. Great nose with citrus, passion fruit,... Nice full body. Buttery. 12m of wood. Long finish. — 7 years ago
Medium body. Medium tannins. Smooth easy-drinking, food-friendly. Smells like dark cherries and orange peelings. Hints of spice and smoke. — 8 years ago
I love Ridge, but this one missed the mark for me. On the sweet side and without complexity. — 3 days ago
From Hawke’s Bay! A gem of a north island region I taste so many winners from. The nose is reductive struck match with sea spray and lemon rind. The palate is enviably smooth and crisp as I wish my sheets to be. Oak lily’s with vanilla bean joining tart lemon curd and honeydew. The right balance between luxury china and clean white plates why am I referencing so many housewares in this review — 4 months ago
#pinotgris from #nzwine #martinborough okay overpriced but still lovely and textural. Lots of ripe Granny Smith and green water pears in the nose and palate. Also a bit flinty (screwcap) lemon rind, honey, ripe pineapple...my God as I’m writing this tasting note I’m liking it more and more. Has some Rieslingesque qualities and just a pinch of sweet ripe fruit on the finish — 7 years ago
Best Shiraz I've had yet from Austalia. Fantastic. — 7 years ago
This is very good bargain in the $25 range. This and the J Lohr Hilltop are favorites in this price range. — 8 years ago

Sweet red raspberry with a sappy herbaceousness. Bright and tangy on the palate, with flavors of orange zest, mulled cranberries, and slate. Clean finish with appreciable length. — 7 years ago

My favourite Pet Nat to date !! But what would I expect from BK Wines ... nose could almost be Apple strudel with custard ... crunch apple . Quite big bubbles , but long and very good — 8 years ago

The 2020 edition of this wine is excellent. Still on the young side, it’s got a classic Zin nose of pristine brambly blackberry, a lifted note that’s almost but not quite eucalyptus adjacent, and some loamy gravel. Gorgeous balance in the mouth, rich and intense but with an elegant texture, tannins abundant but buried under the concentrated flavors. Flavors balance fruit and savory notes. Long. Love this one. — 2 days ago
