Kidnappers Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

From Hawke’s Bay! A gem of a north island region I taste so many winners from. The nose is reductive struck match with sea spray and lemon rind. The palate is enviably smooth and crisp as I wish my sheets to be. Oak lily’s with vanilla bean joining tart lemon curd and honeydew. The right balance between luxury china and clean white plates why am I referencing so many housewares in this review — 6 hours ago

RW Red Winery Vineyard Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Drinking really well now. Bold mineral driven palate with plum, dark berries, and cedar. The Red Winery is typically one with smoother tannins and this one follows that suit. — a month ago

Gimblett Gravels The Gimblett Merlot Blend 2014

This has one of those brilliant, well polished high def née world wine noses.

Subtle fruit, yet so perfect the aroma.

A touch of salinity leads to classic Cab fruit, that hint of almond, those delicately placed petals on the palette, persimmon in the end game, with minty acidity and well focused tannin.
I’d say this wine has come together perfectly with time.
