Definitely a Pinot Noir but it was a bit to fruit sweet for my liking. Big and bombastic. Was ok. But not my style

Sweet, cherry berry but a bit more bodied than your typical west coast Pinot.

Not my favorite, a few ripe volatiles hit the nose early but they blow off as you drink. For the price though, it’s a solid NZ Pinot.

Fruit forward Pinot, nice acidity and finish. More Oregon than Burgundy. Very easy drinking and great value.

Fruity Pinot. Can taste the berries and plum. More medium bodied but no complexity.

Typical South Island terroir, over delivering. Dark cacao, mint and an overriding, Layer of black plum, red cherries... The fruit is pronounced. Fantastic value for the money, would purchase again for a mid week drinker.

Surprisingly easy drinking. Slips down nicely and isn't too thin, although don't go searching for anything too complex. Nose is a bit stuffed up currently so maybe there's more to discover. Easy enough to enjoy.
