Cranberry, pomegranate, tea leaves, dried herbs, and black pepper. M+ acid, m body and tannin. Aromas carry through on the palate with added minerality. Long silky finish with great structure. Fabulous wine!

Less expressive on the nose than their Bannockburn Pinot Noir. However, the fruits on the nose; black raspberries, raspberries, dark cherries, blackberries, poached strawberries, light loamy soils with red roses. On the palate; ripe & beautiful; blueberries, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, cherries, firmer sticky tannins, anise, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, beautiful soft spices, amazing fragrant fresh red florals, rich body with perfect mellow acidity. The finish is; flat out sexy elegance. These wines were the best we had in New Zealand. They are well crafted wines with beauty, elegance, excellent texture and precision. Not only are their wines amazing, look at that view. It's like a painting. The other photo shows their beautiful low yield Pinot Noir grapes.

Земляника, мятая клубника, барбарис, смолистая хвоя, чёрный чай, подлесок, мокрая земля. Среднее тело с достаточной кислотностью и едва ощутимым в глубине алкогольным жаром. Экзотично новосветски, но собранно и с заметной минеральностью. Без большой четкости и глубины, чуть упрощенно во вкусе. Ярко, с чувством места и такта, без пошлости, с объемом. Немного горячо.

Beautiful wine. Drinking super well now, no doubt will age spectacularly. Fine fruits, spice and oak. Well structured and totally delicious.
