Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"Aromas of ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice and leather, with a hint of smoky oak. A full-bodied wine with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and a hint of savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky and linear tannin structure."


4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"Still unfolding, the youthful 2019 vintage is a regional blend, grown in the Southern Valleys (55 per cent), Awatere Valley (32 per cent), and at Kekerengu (13 per cent). Hand-picked and matured for 10 months in French oak barriques, it is deep ruby, with concentrated, vigorous plum, berry and spice flavours, showing good complexity, and a lengthy, moderately firm finish. Full of cellaring potential, it should be at its best 2024+."


Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"Ripe, complex, fruity, varietal and very inviting bouquet with aromas of dark cherry and purple-skinned plum, whispers of fruit spice and layers of toasty barrel with dusty clove and vanilla baking spice scents. Delicious on the palate with a core of pinosity and fruit, flavours of dark berries and plums, wood spices and toasty barrel. Youthful with firm chalky textured tannins and salivating acidity. There’s a dark rose and saline note on the finish adding complexity and mouthfeel. A lovely example ready to enjoy with food or keep in the cellar till 2022. Ideal drinking from 2022 through 2028+."


90/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, April 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"Medium-bodied pinot noir with plum, raspberry, brambles, dried herbs and subtle spicy oak flavours. A slightly rustic wine with energy supported by ripe, chewy tannins that promise cellaring potential. Drink 2022 to 2029."


Top 10 Pinot Noir, October 2023, David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz (2019 Vintage)
"A wine with “brightness and vibrancy” according to our notes. A medicinal/herbal edge to the fruit again here – that sarsparilla, tomato leaf note leading one taster to think it was Marlborough fruit (correctly). Blood orange, strawberry and cassis show a distinctive, and lighter, edge to the flavours. Real personality alongside textbook structure from the core of acidity and plush texture."
