Deep ruby. Dark sweet plum, salty and floral. The palate is med-full bodied, med acidity, soft-med tannin. There is a dark savoury element that gives the wine gravitas. Beautiful balance. Power without weight. Powerful and beautiful. — 2 years ago

The Clos Pegase label features Pegasus, painted circa 1890 by the French artist Redon. Pale lemon with aromas of fresh fruit and floral scents. On the palate apple and melon flavors, creamy with pronounced oak and citrus notes. Medium finish, good balance ending with fruit and oak character. Still tasting well. Good value! We just tasted beside a Stags Leap, Pegase won, and it’s $5 cheaper!! Nice!! — 5 years ago
Pinot noir from Waipara (north Canterbury) is the most underrated in New Zealand, easily up there with the best in central Otago. In fact I would go as far to say wines from this region are the most under rated in New Zealand. Pegasus Bay lead the way over 20 years ago. Caveat is that if you are comparing central Otago with waipara, the Pinot noir is softer, but still with a complex structure but more more hidden. Duck is perfect. For afternoon drinking also superb. — 2 years ago
