What The Critics Say
96/100 Bob Campbell MW (2016 vintage)
"Fragrant, aromatic pinot noir with seductive floral, cherry and subtle spicy flavours. Delicately succulent wine that has clearly been made with a light touch but has impressive power and a lengthy finish. This wine has the X-factor - every sip is even better than the last. 19/11/2018." Drink 2018 - 2023
94/100 Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier (2016 vintage)
"Very engaging bouquet of Pinot Noir with immediate and exacting scents of rose and red cherry, sweet vanilla and new French oak, a soft beguiling complexity and pure fruit expression. On the palate the wine shows all of the fruit and oak flavours suggested with noticeable tannins and acidity - a youthful wine still with tension and textures from all the attributes encountered." Drink 2020 - 2026
4.5 Stars Michael Cooper (2016 vintage)
"This classy, finely structured red is estate-grown on the south side of the Wairau Valley, hand-picked and matured for 18 months in French oak barriques (35 per cent new in 2016). The 2016 vintage (4.5*) is a deep ruby, youthful wine, still unfolding. Full-bodied, it has highly concentrated plum, spice, herb and nut flavours, complex and savoury, gentle tannins, and a finely textured, long finish. Best drinking 2021+. Certified organic." Drink 2018 - 2026
