Opened for my 80th birthday. Wow, at its peak, deep cherry colour, fresh, vibrant, complex with amazing depth and flavours, a long aftertaste. So tasty. — 8 months ago
This is very good bargain in the $25 range. This and the J Lohr Hilltop are favorites in this price range. — 7 years ago

Big, rich and bold. Lightly sweet up front and tart + spice on the back. A bit on the tart side of the spectrum for me. Tart fruits really pop! — 8 years ago
Still quite nice with roasted chicken breast. — 3 days ago
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 — 2 months ago

Totally love Gimblett Gravels Reds & this is one of them. Beautiful array of dark berry fruits, dark chocolate, a spec of bakery spices, a dash of savoury goodness and fresh silky tannins. — 7 years ago
My favourite Pet Nat to date !! But what would I expect from BK Wines ... nose could almost be Apple strudel with custard ... crunch apple . Quite big bubbles , but long and very good — 8 years ago
This had some funk to it.. very anti-Aussie in its approach. Shiraz/Mataro blend with a zippy, fresh quality to it. Slightly chilled, this’d be good. — 8 years ago
Light, citrusy, paired perfectly with chili spiced salmon. — 9 years ago

Sweet red raspberry with a sappy herbaceousness. Bright and tangy on the palate, with flavors of orange zest, mulled cranberries, and slate. Clean finish with appreciable length. — 7 years ago
Medium body. Medium tannins. Smooth easy-drinking, food-friendly. Smells like dark cherries and orange peelings. Hints of spice and smoke. — 8 years ago
Alsace in style. Great mid palette and strong finish — 9 years ago

Night 2 notes. The oaky notes from being first opened on night one are gone. It’s a little softer, higher in acid, and less intense than other vintages I’ve had. Nose has bright, ripe red berries, some brambly notes, and irony earth. On the palate there’s nice intensity on entry, but it flattens out a bit in the finish. I’d say this is for earlier drinking than the typical Storybooks I’m used to. — 11 days ago
