I'm upping my rating on this. Wine needed air to show its full glory. Today, it's blowing dark fruit, tree bark, big cinnamon and dark spice - yet, it remains fresh and vibrant. It still reminds me of really good Cru Beaujolais but the Mourvèdre character is more present. Yum! — 10 years ago

Dirty grapefruit and decomposing flint. Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc and better than some big brand Sancerre — 10 years ago

Absolutely amazing...big fruit on entry, but incredibly balanced, super silky tannins and a long finish...very elegant. Ranks in my top 10 for 2015 (up there with Brand and VHR)...I love this wine. — 10 years ago

Definitely better than the Crawford namesake. A little more acidity but still classic Marlborough tropical fruit, without being overdone like the big name brand. Delicious tonight w oysters and then grilled calamari with a olive and sundried tomato tapenade on a bed of grilled asparagus — 10 years ago

Loved this wine. While the 2011 Brio was tasting a little better this day this wine will age better. Big and bold but seamless, just a beautiful wine. Fruit, acidity, silky tannins and all the components to be a stunning wine with some bottle age. — 10 years ago

Big, forward aromas of apricot and honey with a surprising hint of Christmas pine tree. Lush and rich but soft on the palate. Very gentle sweetness is balanced perfectly by the acidity keeping everything in balance. The finish is long with just a touch of honey. — 10 years ago
