Pours a ruddy ruby. Nose is a nice combo of crushed red fruits, clean fungi/button mushroom, and forest floor. Some definite sediment in this wine. Very solid new world effort.

Beautiful balance of fruit and acidity. Dark chocolate and cherry.

Fresh cranberry and pomegranate with a hint of earthy, funky beetroot notes. Nothing really jumps out, but it has loads of underlying complexity

Perfumed and very floral with subtle sweet earthy tones. Concentrated fruit with great acidity. NZ can make some damn good Pinot.

New to @gezelligdining Big black fruit note, hint of smoke, and a bit of baking spice. Definitely a big Pinot, but showing a ton of elegance. First time trying their wines and this definitely didn't disappoint

Deep garnet color, black cherry, some black licorice and anise as secondary flavor, tea, bit of black pepper. Overall rich fruit and acidity in balance. Medium to light weight on palate. Nice lingering finish.

Dark black center. New world Pinot on the nose. Cherry cola, blueberries. Grippy tannins. Partial while cluster fermentation. Medium-bodies with a kick of solid acidity. Red and blue fruit fill my palate nicely. 2010 vintage

Cranberries, red meat cooked mushrooms on nose. Bright acidity, red cherries, earthy on the palate.
