Dinner at Amah with London Lees. Very nice balanced Pinot with a cherry bright nose and a core of berries that lifts the wine, took an hour or so to open up. Very nice, one more. AA26 — 2 years ago

Guessed Walla Walla Grenache blind. Beautiful Pinot with lots of purity. Fruit forward. Multiple blind tasters mentioned the “Italian nose” but palate was all new world. Biodynamic. — 6 months ago

9.2

This is a BIG Pinot. Big, fruit dominated nose, with a little herbal spice on the back end, with hints of black olive and rose permeating throughout. Big palate and body, with an herbal, hay or thyme palate, tannic, with a salinity that’s prominent, with black olive, some tar, and even a smokiness hitting the end, with dark cherry, plum, and a peppery spice showing up loud on the palate. Really good entry to South African Pinot. — 9 months ago

Dark cherry and briar. On the palate medium + intensity - heavy spice. No other word for it but delicious. One of the jewels of Central Otago along with Block 3. A gift from a good mate who loves new world Pinot Noir, for my 70th last year. A gorgeous wine. — 9 months ago

Big ratings on this… though I found it a bit hot and acidic day one. Day two however was a dream… soft yet deep. — 5 months ago

Tasted the ‘13 vintage not long ago while it was fantastic I felt it just slightly passed its peak. This 15’ is in top form. Nice cherry fruit concentration and freshness on the nose. The palate is a bit richer than the nose suggests with dark plum and abundant earthy elements. Lingering mellow tannins.
Fruits from Wairau Valley. 12 months in French oak barrel, 35% new. — 7 months ago
