"Moderately dark ruby-red colour with some depth, lighter on the edge. The nose has a firm core with good depth of dark cherry and raspberry fruit with suggestions of plums and liquorice. The fruit is fresh and vibrant, unfolding a very delicate thread of dark and fresh herbs adding interest. Medium-full bodied, the palate has an elegantly concentrated hearth with deep raspberry fruit along with notes of liquorice, spices and plums. The fruit is sweet and rich and underlined by fine, grainy tannin extraction and structure, with balanced acidity lending energy. The wine carries positively to a long, lingering, fruit-focussed finish. This is a fresh, elegantly concentrated, youthful Pinot Noir with cherry, raspberry, liquorice and plum fruit flavours on a fine, grainy-structured palate with plenty of vitality. Match with pasta, pizza, poultry and pork over the next 3-4 years. Pinot Noir fruit, clones 115 and 777 from the ‘Delta Farm’ vineyard, fully destemmed and fermented to 13.5% alc., the wine aged 10 months, half in French oak and half in tank" Raymond Chan, Jul 2018

"Light, bright, fresh pinot noir with fresh herb, cherry and raspberry flavours. A simple, easy-drinking wine that's slightly on the green side of the flavour spectrum but is supple and appealing" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2018

"The 2017 vintage (4*) is a single-vineyard red, grown at the mouth of the Waihopai Valley. French oak-aged, it is deep ruby, fresh and full-bodied, with vibrant, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing good concentration, some savoury complexity and the structure to age, A great buy in the sub-$20 range" Michael Cooper, 2018

"A real comforting pinot; the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, spiced cherry, game, toasted almond and subtle dried herb characters, leading to a juicy palate that is supple and silky. The wine delivers lovely fruit purity and elegance, backed by polished tannins. Well composed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 2018

"Sweet rich fruits with supple cherry fruits, a touch of savouriness and a long finish" International Wine Challenge 2019

Showing a dark garnet colour in the glass, with aromas of dark fruits, dried thyme and black olive brine. The palate is rich, round and full bodied with sun ripened tomatoes and raspberry with mixed dark fruit flavours. This wine has well balanced acidity, a fine tannin structure, an impressive length with toasty finish.

Food Pairing: Well matched with Spring lamb.

"Dark, deep, black-hued purple-ruby colour with good depth, a little lighter on the rim, youthful in appearance. The nose is elegant in presentation with fresh, bright, ripe, aromatic dark-red berry and black plum fruit, still quite primary in expression with floral and esters lift. Medium-bodied, the palate has a bright, lively and vibrant heart of primary dark-red berry fruit with subtle aromatic plum notes. The fruit is sweet with floral lift, unfolding hints of spices and dark herbs. The fruit is underlined by light, grainy tannin texture with a fresh line of acidity providing tension and energy. The wine carries to a clean and fresh finish of berries and plums. This is a bright and lively, primary fruited Merlot with berry and plum flavours with primary aromatic lift on a tight-textured, refreshing palate. Fruit from Hawkes Bay, trucked to the Marlborough winery and fermented to 13.0% alc., the wine aged 8 months in French and American oak." Raymond Chan, Jun 2018

"Still youthful, this single-vineyard red is deeply coloured, fragrant and full bodied, with greater intensity than you'd expect in its price range. Packed with plummy, spicy fruit, it is moderately firm, with a long life ahead"  Wine State, 2018

"Offering good value, the youthful 2017 vintage (4*) is a single-vineyard red, French and American oak-aged. Deeply coloured, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with concentrated, plummy, spicy flavours and a moderately firm finish. Best drinking 2020+" Michael Cooper, 2018

"Fabulously ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, floral and spice aromas with subtle toasted almond complexity. The palate is succulent and plump, delivering lovely mid palate weight and roundness, beautifully supported by silky texture and fine, chalky tannins. From the Gimblett Gravels district. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 2018

A structured palate led by rich plum fruits, cocoa powder tannin and a smooth savoury note. Hints of subtle smooth oak on the finish.
