Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral, sweet spice and earthy oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, strawberry and red plums with floral and vanilla notes. Fine tannins with lively acidity, great mouthfeel on a medium finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Drink now, it’s great!

Mid crimson in colour. Earthy smoky notes with more forest floor than red fruit notes. These earthy notes come through on the palate finishing with a slight astringency. Good structure but requires a more red fruited presence on the palate I feel. A well credentialed producer from Martinborough better known for their high quality individual Cuvées like Kupe. Long time wine maker is Australian Larry McKenna. Footnote: Just discovered that Escarpment is now owned by Torbreck Vintners (South Australia).

Wow New Zealand. Plenty of stuffing and tannins, maybe one for the cellars?

Stinky when opened. Took awhile for the fruit to come, but when it did. Wow. Deep, earthy red fruits, soft tannin and lovely integration of oak. Fantastic wine.
