Bob Campbell 93 points!"Dense, powerful Pinot Noir with sleek (rather than sumptuous) fruit flavours beautifully contained in an exoskeleton of fine, ripe tannins and nutty oak. Truly a very complex wine that seems remarkably fresh and youthful. A wine that only hints at its full potential."

Wine advocate 91+ points!"Matured in 50% French new oak for 18 months, the 2006 Prima Donna Pinot Noir is closed and backward with firm grip on the palate and impressive weight, although its concentration suggests that is will blossom in three or four years time.
Although winemakers Matthew Donaldson and Lynette Hudson look as if they have just got in from an all-night rave, they are presently producing some of New Zealand's most exhilarating, Burgundy-inspired white wines, their reds suffused with earthy flavors. They are demonstrating the potential of the Canterbury wine region and constitute one of New Zealand's best producers. Their whites are exhilarating and seem best between a year in bottle and around five years."
