Awatere Pass

Soos Creek

Stampede Pass Cabernet Franc

Lovely red for the price point. I believe the 2013 Cab franc would be a drinkable crowd pleaser if you need to take to a dinner party. Fruity and smooth, not entirely complex so easily liked by most palates. — 8 years ago

This has a sublime fruity funk and would pass as a top end aged CdP in any blind tasting. Not at all tired and should hold for a while. — 10 years ago

Triplebank

Awatere Valley Pinot Noir 2010

2010 is amazing. More recent vintages have not been up to this. Lots of experience with this label. Find the 2010 or older. '11 on has been a dramatically more pedestrian offering. — 9 years ago

Looks like moscato. Smells like moscato. Slightly effervescent like a moscato. And yet it tastes dry... good with Ottolenghi recipies and adventurous souls. — 12 years ago
