Very good p/q. Reminds me of Giant Steps Applejack/Sexton. Clean red fruit, lavender, with a deeper spice note. There is Gibbston/Otago deep spice, then you get pure red strawberry. No discernible tannin, and acid is subdued, but at this pricepoint this is a buy. — 2 years ago
Normally one of my top 5 pinots, but tonight it feels forced and over-extracted. All the dark fruit and spice that we know but without the acid or freshness needed to lift this out of the sweet clawing soup. Still good but felt past its prime. — 5 months ago
Subtle flavors. No stainless taste. Maybe some slight oak? — 2 years ago

Did the Creator touch this land and turn this bottling into wine?
Gods country & Jesus wine.
Perfect mouthfeel & purity, gorgeous, delicate, soft citrus, round, waxy, honeysuckle, amazing, perfect, beautiful chalkiness, elegant, grey minerality, some of the best acidity & incredible balance in a wine I’ve had. The finish is in the theatre of, “Forget About It.” WOTN.
Very Burgundian and better than many I’ve enjoyed for less💰.
Photos of, the harvest time view of the valley floor from the property, open top fermenting Pinot Noir grapes, my property walk & talking w/owner Nigel Greening (amazing time with an amazing person/producer and outside concrete tanks...it’s an even warm to cool growing season that translates into a long fruit hang-time, amazing fruit & acidity.

This is my new go-to pinot. Dark brooding and spicy. Very Gibbston Valley in character - almost up to Valli or Gibbston Valley single vineyard bottlings, but at half the price this is a strong buy. — 10 months ago
