Growers Collection Calvert Vineyard Pinot Noir

Had at The Modern in NYC in 2015. Dinner for 1 after Tanya and Lena left. Sommelier-recommended for Pinot Noir lovers adventurous to try from less common regions. — 9 years ago

Lake Wanaka Central Otago Gewürztraminer 2014

Felton Road

Calvert Pinot Noir 2010

Best of both worlds. Violets, cherries, dust light leather. Boozy! 14% I believe. Lies off after about 30-40. Super delicious and different. — 11 years ago

Mt. Difficulty

Roaring Meg Pinot Noir

This is an extremely unique Pinot. A good berry, red cherry nose, but an extremely dry, old, taste. Can't really place it but a delight to drink! — 10 years ago

Caroline's Waitaki Valley Pinot Noir 2010

Beautiful bold wine from north otago. It has the raw power of limestone combined with hints of raspberry and plum. Powerful aroma. Pick a meat that can stand up to the wine. It almost tastes like a Rhone blend in my opinion. — 10 years ago

Felton Road

Block 5 Pinot Noir 2002

First time trying an old Felton Road and a Block 5 courtesy of Can. Forest floor, some black fruits. Great concentration with depth and intensity of flavour. Good length but never felt over-blown or heavy. Shows why this wine is an icon. 94 points — 11 years ago

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2007

Still plenty of fruit. Sweet black cherry and spice. A nose reminiscent , strangely enough, of a Charles Hiedseick NV champagne — 11 years ago
