Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"River Run is our Central Otago regional Pinot Noir made from grapes grown in our vineyards in different sub-regions of Central Otago. The deep alpine valleys and waterways of Central Otago have carved the land available for grape growing into quite distinct sub-regions. Each pocket of land has its own unique climate and soil mix producing quite different styles of Pinot Noir. River Run captures the character of each of the sub-regions where our vineyards are planted. Lowburn gives us bright, fresh sweet fruit, Gibbston savoury and herbal tones, and Parkburn brings good texture and mineral length.
An expressive and complex bouquet with sweet floral notes swirling around ripe cherry and plum fruit with aromatic spice in the background. There's ample fresh fruit and velvety tannin on a palate that is elegant, saisfying and highly drinkable."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"This is delightfully fruited and fragrant on the nose showing dark cherry, bay leaf, toasted almond and subtle savoury notes. It's juicy, rounded and smooth on the palate with lovely fruit vibrancy backed by fine texture and polished tannins, making it highly appealing and fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2025."
