Okidokey PN showcasing juicy cherries, chocolatey barrel treatment and fresh acidity. Lacks depth and its 13,5% alcohol is way too obvious on the abrupt finish.

I was really surprised by this. Fresh flavor that got better as it opened up. Tart apple towards the end that I found very appealing

We always look forward to a NZ Pinot and we received a great deal on this so it was all in place... Except this Pinot was very light, a bit boring and it reminds me of the rolling maul of the all blacks.. Predictable and uninteresting.... I will return to the French or an American Pinot.... Bacchus we will use this to clean the Windows

Amazing wine. Takes an hour to open up, but the reward is a beautiful example of Pinot Noir and well worth the wait.
