Dominated by cranberry, mostly fruit without much in the way of herbal complexity, but very clean and enjoyable.

Mar 26th, 2014A couple of years in the bottle have done great justice to the wine. Those that don't see the greatness in N.Z. Pinot need only to let them age a bit.

Jun 27th, 2016Completely seamless and well structured. In a time where the frosting frequently is adored more than the cupcake, this one might get overlooked. Showed much more mid palate on the second day. Lovely.

Jun 19th, 2016Lovely and well-balanced with very nice taste of fresh red cherry, strawberry, and hint of Oolong tea on the palate. Good texture, soft tannins, dry, and end nicely with soft medium aftertaste. Good value for money & like it.

Nautilus pinot noir 2009 NZ. this is old world. Smells like the breeze of the ocean. Minerality and herbs. This wine is Pleasant with cheese and fish but held up very well to spicy Korean food.
