Central Otago Pinot Noir 2015

I really like this Pinot. Earthy-Terrific balance of spice, smoke and raspberry - but my balance favors smoke! $16 at Costco... I would pay twice. — 6 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. — 9 years ago

Felton Road

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 — 9 years ago

Cashburn

Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, some mushroom and earthy notes on the nose. Tart red fruits, a bit of earth and spice on the palate. A pretty Pinot! — 5 years ago
