Their entry level Pinot from Martinborough for current drinking. Notes of beetroot and spice. Quite a sweet and spicy palate with medium intensity. Very Good for the standard Pinot Noir.

Straightforward Kiwi, but with more dried grass/straw then many. Expressive nose is an understatement.

Elegantly structured and balanced. Fragrant nose developing into charcuterie and dried flowers. Palate leaning towards savoury cherry with some underripe plum. Acid and tannins nicely in place. It’s at a lovely stage for drinking right now. Worked nicely with confit duck leg.

Nice cherry flavors but too harsh in the finish to drink.
