I brought this bottle back from New Zealand all the way to NYC. Loved visiting the vineyard and this rosé was a favorite - fragrant aromas of strawberry and peach with a warm, fresh finish. It was perfect on this near 70° evening. — 8 years ago

I enjoyed this Chardonnay. Not too oaky, smooth with gentle citrus. — 9 years ago

Tipping the scales across the board, with high %, high acidity, high tannins and massive fruit, framed by loads of toasty oak. Elegant? No. Will I buy again? No. Impressive? Yes. — 9 years ago

A rare beast indeed, this Bordeaux style blend - from New Zealand! 55% Cab Sauv, 26% Merlot, 11% Cab Franc, 6%Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot - it's quite a crowded field.

Nonetheless, this is a great wine and '07 is just about ready for drinking.

Cedar wood and forest fruits on the nose; with a strong red fruit palette followed by wood and herbs and a long, consistent finish.

An absolute treat for Sunday roast, or a rainy Sunday afternoon!

A damn fine Shiraz, more in the French style than the Australian, so smoother and not so 'big'. — 9 years ago

Fantastic Bordeaux blend. My favorite Kiwi wine and truly a world class wine. The 2009 is nearing peak but has many years of enjoyment left — 9 years ago
