Mild, not complex. Simple elegant in taste but connected with rich nose. Very interesting pinot noir.

Delightful with nice acidity, spice upfront from peppercorn notes and a strong black cherry finish. Good value.

Cherry, dust, chocolate. Food-friendly. A bit of heat on the finish.

Bright, deep red. Very aromatic, with strong presence of cherries. Soft tanines, mild acidity. Finish is stronger than expected. Taste is dominated by cherry, with discrete mineral notes. In general, a well rounded wine, but not very complex.

Amazing. Classic ultra-jammy fruits. Slight forest floor. Bright acidity. Loved it.

A delicious representation of Marlborough Pinot Noir. Reminds me of Southbank from several years ago. Hope the LCBO has plenty of this one in stock! Quintessential Kiwi dirt in a glass!
