Love the cola infused, new world PN style? This is for you. Main thing this offers is a bit more elegance than many domestic examples. Holding well, not sure this will improve with more bottle age.

Really lovely austere but still tons of central Otago pinosity.

3.4 Lovely Bordeaux if a bit young. Nice taste but not much nose. On sale for $13.99, with Groupon was $10.39, a very good buy.

Lovely Pinot nose, moderately full and complex body with a long aftertaste. Had it with salmon with a caper and lemon sauce, with which it went fairly well, but was slightly too full. It will go better with steak.
