Deep ruby. Dark sweet plum, salty and floral. The palate is med-full bodied, med acidity, soft-med tannin. There is a dark savoury element that gives the wine gravitas. Beautiful balance. Power without weight. Powerful and beautiful. — a year ago

Nik Pegasus Gold Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, California
A pretty color of dark ruby, with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of violets, earth, wild flowers, sweet cherries, plums, black currants, light wood, spices, vanilla, milk chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, red plums, wood, licorice, vegetables, earth, alcohol, spices, peppercorn, cinnamon and herbs.
Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Coast in California. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward with mild complexity.
Drinking nicely now, but still young. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.
Needs 60 minutes of airtime, so please be patient. After 2 hours, it is even spicier with a nice bite to it. Very tasty.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged in French and American oak barrels for 19 months.
13.8% alcohol by Vol.
90 points.

Pinot noir from Waipara (north Canterbury) is the most underrated in New Zealand, easily up there with the best in central Otago. In fact I would go as far to say wines from this region are the most under rated in New Zealand. Pegasus Bay lead the way over 20 years ago. Caveat is that if you are comparing central Otago with waipara, the Pinot noir is softer, but still with a complex structure but more more hidden. Duck is perfect. For afternoon drinking also superb. — 2 years ago
The Clos Pegase label features Pegasus, painted circa 1890 by the French artist Redon. Pale lemon with aromas of fresh fruit and floral scents. On the palate apple and melon flavors, creamy with pronounced oak and citrus notes. Medium finish, good balance ending with fruit and oak character. Still tasting well. Good value! We just tasted beside a Stags Leap, Pegase won, and it’s $5 cheaper!! Nice!! — 4 years ago
