Waiheke Island Syrah 2008

Nicely fruity New Zealand Syrah, in addition to blackberry and smoky aromas and flavors, also shows some bacon fat notes and some solid structure, rich and complex, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — a year ago

Love Waiheke Island wines!

Kumeu River

Coddington Chardonnay 2020

Pale lemon in colour. Flinty/struck match notes on the nose - initially citrus and with time more stone fruit. The palate is rich and opulent with grapefruit and white peach sharing the spoils. I have had limited experience with Coddington but this was flat out delicious. The winemaker suggests a short window of 2-4 years (hard to see it being better than it is right now ), whereas pros like JR take it through to 2031. An exceptional new world Chardonnay. — a month ago
