One of the greats. Savoury, elegant, earthy with precise balance and weight.

My favorite of recent vintages. Less in your face with red fruit, ripeness, and oak. More floral and mineral. Wet shale and dusty minerality across all the BCV wines, but most apparent here.

The only one that I would say approaches "elegance."

This wine over delivers. Serious depth of flavour, acid/tannin balance is breathtaking. Oak sits in the background and never gets pushy, even at this young age. The deep fruit is just never ending but you always know your drinking outstanding Southern NZ Pinot. A beauty.

Don't have a ton of experience with New Zealand wines but I really like this one. Dark berry fruit with an earthy peppery finish.
