2013 vintage, 14% alcohol. Good Pinot with cherry flavours, medium to full bodied. Paired at lunch with two pizzas- onion, fennel and aubergine; leftover roast lamb shoulder and tomato salsa. At dinner with seared tuna and potatoes, snap peas and spinach. Worked well with all the dishes.

Lovely maroon colour with lightly spicy cherry bouquet. Smooth and gently juicy red berry taste with a hint of pepper, but nothing complex. Good value for what it is. Needs to be at room temperature and time to breathe.

Nice juicy red, typical NZ Pinot Noir. Not exceptional for the price but a decent safe pick.

Delicious, juicy and medium bodied Pinot Noir. Pleasant on the nose. Can't imagine it was terribly expensive as was part of the work Friday night drink mix.
