"Youthful, savoury, bright, fruity and varietal with core flavours of plums and raspberries laced with dried herbs and that rugged Otago landscape quality. Complex and dry on the palate, a wine that needs to be allowed to mature and develop. Firm tannins and plenty of acidity with core flavours of red berries and plums, a savoury spice and barrel flavours all add complexity and length. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036. I am keen to try this wine again in late 24 or early 25 to gauge its progress, I’m excited" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2023

"Medium-bodied Pinot Noir in a high-energy and quite complex style that promises improvement with bottle age. Bone-dry wine with dark cherry, stemmy, and floral/violet flavours" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2024

"The 2021 Bannockburn Pinot has an autumnal tone - earthy, smoky and slightly subdued. Best decanted to truly open it up, it has great balance with fine tannins, as well as good length and finesse" Rosie Menzies, Winemaker

The Bannockburn Pinot Noir is Carrick's flagship wine, and the wine that we feel best represents the strong connection we have with our site. Known for its structure and ability to age well over a long period of time, the fruit is hand-picked from a selection of vineyards across the estate, parcels that were 27 years old in 2021. The 2021 growing season was cool to start, with heat spikes around January and a cooler harvest period, the harvest period was longer than normal, as each parcel took it's time to come fully to ripeness.

Comprised of 4 different vineyard parcels, a mix of clones 10/5, 5, 6, and 13, each hand-picked at optimum ripeness, destemmed, then fermented separately. Spending 18-31 days on skins, the wine was pressed, then aged in barrel for 9 months, with 19% new oak. Each barrel was hand-selected then blended together, for a further 6 months maturation in tank before bottling, unfined and coarse filtered.

Great new 1920's British Mystery Series
Format: Kindle
This is a 1920’s British mystery along the lines of Agatha Christie’s classic novels. It is the first book in the series and features a mystery writer – Marius Quin. The book begins with Quin having successfully published his first novel, but having problems meeting his publisher’s demand for a second. Depressed when he leaves his publisher’s office, he accidentally meets an old love of his, Bella, a woman he had wanted to marry ten years before but, because he was leaving to fight in WWI, he didn’t propose. It is Bella who invites him to a New Year’s Eve weekend party at Everham Hall, home of a famous film actor. During the weekend, one of their party is killed and so begins the hunt for the murderer, with Marius and Bella investigating. There are plot twists and turns until the denouement when the killer is revealed. I really like both of the main characters (Marius Quin and Bella), and I’m a fan of that time period and of country manor mysteries. I’ve enjoyed Benedict Brown's Lord Edgington novels and find this new series equally appealing.

New Year, new beginnings, new murder
Format: Kindle
Having run through the entire Lord Edgington Investigates series, it felt natural to jump over to this Marius Quin mystery. All in all, it’s not quite as funny as the banter between Lord Edgington and Christopher affords, but it’s still highly readable and offers the same weaving of clues to keep you entertained. What’s in store for you? Put together looming bills, writer’s block, a past lover, a New Year’s Eve party, a dead silent film star, a killer on the loose in a snowbound manor, and 6 perfectly good suspects—except they all seem so innocent if unlikeable (some more than others, one more than most)—which means Marius has his work cut out for him. So do you if you’re an armchair detective. So why 3 stars and not higher? I’m suffering from comparison syndrome. Marius and Bella don’t have a big enough gap between them (other than an historical romantic mishap) for belly-laugh comedic moments like Lord Edgington and grandson Christopher have. That won’t stop me from reading the next installment in the series, though, so I can let Marius and Bella grow on me as the author finds their rhythm.

Grown up version of Chrissy!
Format: Kindle
Marius Quin is a good character for Benedict Brown’s readers. There is a tie-in with Lord Edgington (and Chrissy) and Lord Edgington is referred to or almost mentioned a few times. This takes place in a huge old mansion with some history, that has to do with the murder, so I don’t want to spoil it. Marius does have a dog, but he’s not as involved with the story as Lord Edgington’s Golden Retriever, unless you think of his ability to judge characters.

A quite enjoyable, funny, mystery.
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this one, it was funny, great characters, fantastic pacing, solid twist at the end, although one thing was obvious to me but I can't say it because thats a spoiler. But I am really looking forward to the next book.

Good first book in a series.
Format: Paperback
I had read all of the Lord Edgington mysteries and decided to try this series since I believe the author does a very good job. Definitely a different vibe than the other series, but great all the same. I THOUGHT that I had for once solved the mystery before the end but I was only partially right. Definitely recommend; I will be purchasing all the other books in this series.
