Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Medium purple with crimson hues. Expressive and fragrant showing pretty florals, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, thyme, spice and charry oak. The palate is sweet on entry with dark cherry, black Doris plum, blackberry, red currant, mushroom and dark chocolate. Medium bodied, concentrated, finely balanced and very complex. Velvety silky fine tannin that leads into a very long mineral and plum finish."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A richly coloured appearance with hues of dark ruby red and purple leading to a bouquet of baking spices and earth framing fruits of dark raspberry and black cherry, some black currant and thyme. Youthful, firm, dry, ripe, fruity and varietal with flavours that mirror the bouquet and Otago. Tannins have a nice grip of youth and with the acidity frame the core fruits of dark berries and spice perfectly. Delicious, fresh and ready to drink from day of purchase, though the ideal window is 2027 through 2037."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"Estate-grown, hand-harvested from 24 year-old vines, and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques (27 per cent new), the full, bright ruby 2020 vintage is still very youthful. Mouthfilling, it is vibrantly fruity and savoury, with cherry, plum, spice and nut flavours, showing excellent depth, vigour and complexity. Best drinking 2024+."
