This has one of those brilliant, well polished high def née world wine noses.
Subtle fruit, yet so perfect the aroma.
A touch of salinity leads to classic Cab fruit, that hint of almond, those delicately placed petals on the palette, persimmon in the end game, with minty acidity and well focused tannin.
I’d say this wine has come together perfectly with time. — 4 years ago

Color of purple, a bit cloudy gray. Nose of vanilla, ripe grapes, plum, blackberries, and some wet gravels. Taste follows the nose with addition of spicy and minty note, bitter graphite, and fermented cabbage and more ripe fruits. Aftertaste medium long yet overly dominant of bitter note. I expected better. — 3 years ago

What I’m having is actually a new wine from them so may be first to review it, but they did a sulphite free merlot. It’s actually quite banging, has a real pointed red fruit chassis with those silky, sultry tannins and texture you want in merlot. It is electrically vibrant, and not at all a bad time for a solo camper — 6 years ago
I bought this at the winery at a tasting prior to lunch in 2019. Never seen this wine before or since - somewhat of a unicorn. An excellent yet unlikely blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Shiraz - unsure of the percentages but it works a treat. Aromas of black fruits, plum, pomegranate and dried tobacco. An experimental wine which is not produced annually. Grown on the Gimblett Gravels of Hawkes Bay. Finishes with chocolatey tannins. — 6 months ago
Round fruit forward with cherry, red raspberry, and a touch of plum. Just when you think it’s gonna be a fruit bomb, it Fades into an acid and cocoa powder punch. Then the tannins wash over you. And it finishes with a nice Italian herbal kick w some oak. — 4 years ago
