Strong stuff! Only for sipping but good. However my pallet gets better flavor on some cheaper choices. — 8 years ago

Heavy caramel and nutty flavors with a hint of dried fruit. A very long and delicious finish. — 9 years ago

9.2

Spiced cherry and strawberry, with a lavender and herbal tea that has some dank undertones. Tart and savory, but in an extroverted style. As you'd expect from a sub-$20 NZPN, it's on the lean side, but this put cherry pie on my mind more than once. A loam and sea salt driven minerality rounds out the clean finish with complexity. — 9 years ago

This was a head scratcher. Don’t think I’ve had a wine like this. It wanted to reveal white chocolate and marzipan, but instead it tasted like green tea/chamomile coated almonds. It had some buttered pear and honeyed melon notes on the finish...very unique. — 7 years ago

Toasty, caramel and viscous. Lovely! — 8 years ago

Roy Piper

9.3

Great suave texture with black fruit. Linear structure. Not really like a TRB wine, stylistically. Give 3-4 years. Needs a good amount of air. A really impressive first release. — 9 years ago

Stunning. Pale red, almost brown in colour but with an amazing freshness despite its age balanced with a pleasingly mild sweetness. — 9 years ago

with props to Zack at Flatiron Wines: yes, eminently drinkable and characterful Pinot from South Africa (!!!???) exists. (!!!) At a gentle price point to boot. — 11 years ago

9.7

Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 12 years ago

9.3

Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.

A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.

A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.

A shimmering pool of maroon silk. — 7 years ago
