I like to blow people's minds with this wine when they don't know New Zealand Pinot, or claim they don't really like it. Just an outstanding example that can't be denied. This is the wine that made my mom (a Pinot connoisseur) a true believer. The Peking duck pairing didn't hurt! Well done and here's to many more 🍷🍷

Wow...ex-winemaker of Cloudy Bay. Fresh, steely, berry, touch of earth, smoke. Clean orange rind. Eye opener.

2011 - Ripe black cherries and slight maraschino note. Fruit dominant. This is a powerful wine. 14% abv

Wonderful complex wine with a bit of everything, blending spice, earth tones, smoke and leather with a spectrum of red fruits and dark cherries. Lovely round and silky mouth feel with great length on the finish.

Solid stuff from NZ.

So fresh, even vibrant. Bright fruit that's just perfectly framed with a balance of acidity, stony minerality and cedary wood. Very long on the back end. Nice!
