Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This New Zealand Pinot Noir was light and fruity and I think very food friendly. I detected hints of cherry and raspberry and a little bit of toasted oak. Medium bodied and a great value for a very pleasant Pinot Noir.
Pretty wine with sweet cherry flavours plus a subtle seasoning of wild herbs. Fresh, crisp Pinot Noir with charm and immediate drinkability. Good value at the price. Score: 3 (out of 5) Source: Bob Campbell, MW, bobswinereviews.com

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
