Red and black fruits - cherry. Generally muted on the nose, even the following day. A big Pinot on the palate - it needed to be with curried prawns with plenty of heat. The following day similar notes - a good accompaniment to strong flavoured foods. Medium + savoury notes on the palate , yet to fully blossom, with fine Sandy tannins. A couple more years in the cellar would be beneficial. 99 points from Kiwi wine scribe, Bob Campbell MW. — 2 years ago

Great memories of being in Sonoma in summer but this is a year-round Rose. Perfectly balanced, slight acid, strong mineral flavor, and some funk on the nose. — 3 years ago
