Crimson and ruby hue, light bodied and perfumed on nose.
Soft tannins with nice acidity on palate.
A great Pinot expression from Martinborough. Good stuff! — 22 days ago

Floral nose, easy down the hatch. Reminded me of Charles Lachaux. Not so hidden gem… — 6 months ago

Opened up very nicely over an hour or so. Layered fruit but also a depth of flavor and a nice tannin and cigar leaf finish. Lots more punch than you’d expect for a Pinot. — 3 years ago

At 10 years old a wine that is drinking quite nicely and the 2015 was seen as a good Martinborough vintage, and the single vineyard KIWA as having good structure, complexity, and capacity for aging to 2025 and beyond.
It’s a harmonious balance of fruit and savory complexity with earthy, spicy, and savory notes, underpinned by its structure and a long finish.

Brief notes. Barb said sour cherry. My initial impressions - dried herbs, dried red cherry and black plum. Quite a big Pinot Noir. One could say a Shiraz drinkers Pinot, but it’s better than that and gives the wrong connotation. Have my next one in late 2025. As I have said in prior notes it lacks nuance. — 5 months ago

Terrific NZ Pinot, nice clean lines of fruit and acidity and has silky smooth tannins.
This has matured nicely since my last bottle three years ago.
Have another one which I’ll try at 10 years. — 3 months ago
