Picked this up walking around Waiheke a few years ago. Super nice, dry, peppery, blackberry, good tannins — 6 years 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
Really nice wine- floral and nice structured acidity. Drinks well! — 24 days ago
Aged beautifully. No hard edges at all, tannins are velvet. Eucalyptus, dry pine, cassis, super rich nose. Bright summer fruits, blackcurrant, fig and cedar. A delight. — 4 months ago
Can’t rate. Maybe the wine is in a weird spot or my palate was affected by the 4 sessions of snow shoveling, but if I had a blindfold on I would have thought this was a red. Somewhat restrained on the palate with lots of steel elements and some earth. Color was great, as was the cork, so must be me. Usually one of my favorites! — 6 months ago
As organic as it gets … Pure fruity homemade goodness with high tannins and acidity with a long sweet smooth finish . A faint touch of sizzle. it needs to breath a bit. Serve 15/17 C … Great find. Honest wine …It does taste like guilty kisses. — 4 years ago

Bright light golden color with some subtle green highlights. Aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, cat pee and wet slate. Flavors of passion fruit, grapefruit, lime, gooseberries, nectarines and a light note of fresh herbs. Hint of saline on the long and drawn out finish. Bright, but not overwhelming acidity. Light bodied and slightly tight and reductive. Fresh and clean. — 6 days ago
