"A unique parcel within Rippon, Tinker’s Field is a gentle, north facing slope formed by an ancient ejection cone of coarse schist gravels. Tinker’s Field is home to the oldest vines on the property and is named after Rippon’s visionary founder, Rolfe Mills (Tink to his friends), and the land that he had dreamed of farming since childhood. Form and feel: Layered, detailed, compressed power, precise."
99/100 & #1 in James Suckling’s Top 100 NZ Wines of 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Aromas of raspberries and plums with forest fruits and violets. Orange blossom, too. Medium- to full-bodied. Superbly polished tannins that run vertically down the wine and take you very deep and long. It's seemingly endless. Dark strawberry and raspberry and hints of terra cotta and dark stones. It's complete and moving to taste now. Drinkable even now, but try to be patient. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Best after 2026, but already stunning."
95+/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, November 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Scents of dark cherry, sweet earth, undergrowth, Chinese five spice. The palate feels swishy, dark fruited, sappy with graphite tannins and Fernet-like bitter, savoury finish. While brooding and generally dark as a pinot, it lifts beautifully, tightens to freshness and lingers with stony, savouriness with great persistence. There’s an autumnal feel here, and very strong mineral characters. Serious stuff, but with vitality in tow. Hard one to pin down, but in that, the hounding of the glass says it all. It’s beautifully done."
