Gary Walsh 94 Points!"Cherry pip, licorice root, almond, plenty of spice, seasoning of dried herb and something like warm earth " the smell of it is immediately appealing and identifiably Kiwi Pinot Noir. Medium weight with attractive grip, balanced acidity " not too keen or over enthusiastic " and plenty of cherry, spice and herb flavours to come along with it. One bottle I noted tomato paste, though I wasn't particularly taking notes with any (of the bottles that is, tomato paste being way too messy). Savoury dried herb finish of pleasing length. Good style and one I enjoy drinking."
The Wine Front, May 2012
"A warm, low-yielding vintage has produced a Pinot Noir displaying ripeness concentration and balance; dark fruits of the forest dominate the aroma and these are underpinned by lifted florals and black cherry, balanced with sweet aromatic spice notes. The wine has a ripe concentrated front palate, which displays these same characters in abundance. The mid palate is fleshy and well textured, and the wine finishes with a combination of ripe, fine-grained tannin, fruit and acidity."
