Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.
Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)
On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.
As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.
Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!
Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 9 years ago
This is a nice brew. Full with a hint of sweetness at the beginning. A good ale for nights at the pub. — 10 years ago

Couple of people's last shift at Toasted, so there is a certain festive atmosphere and quite a few bottles have already been drunk, so I was in a positive mood when this came out; but even stone-cold Catholic-mass sober I'd still say you'd enjoy this one; sort of sherbert and gooseberries.

The People's Red! Extremely drinkable and if given a chance to open up, deepens in complexity. — 10 years ago
Really good for the price. Great value! — 11 years ago
The best port I've ever had. Silky smooth and not too sweet! — 11 years ago
This was surprisingly good for a $9.99 bottle of "red." Great way to start thing off or close them down with friends, no head ache and the price, bouquet and after taste check all the boxes. — 8 years ago
Easy drinking goodness. Relatively light, but very enjoyable. — 9 years ago
I like to blow people's minds with this wine when they don't know New Zealand Pinot, or claim they don't really like it. Just an outstanding example that can't be denied. This is the wine that made my mom (a Pinot connoisseur) a true believer. The Peking duck pairing didn't hurt! Well done and here's to many more 🍷🍷 — 9 years ago
