"This is gentle, supple Pinot Noir that's ready to drink. Subtle cola, herb and red-fruit shadings are varietally correct, picking up hints of cinnamon and then finishing tart and mouthwatering. - Joe Czerwinski"

"This wine, from the Waipara Valley, north of Christchurch, starts with quiet aromas of raspberries, florals and peppery spice. The palate is tightly wound, with grainy tannins and tangy, if slightly sour, fruit. A bitterness creeps in at the finish but overall this is a solid if not terribly exciting cool-climate Pinot. - Christina PICKARD"
