I love this absolutely smashing wine. Elegant, balanced and wonderfully harmonious. Melon, baked apple, pineapple with lemon drizzle cake. Buttery hazelnuts, toast and caramelised banana.
Still medium bodied and very guzzleable. — 4 years ago
Fantastic. Perfect age. Older world. Feels and tastes like a bottle many times more expensive. — 5 years ago

Beautiful jammy port. Paired with 3 kinds of cheddar and complemented beautifully. Later, paired with chocolatey Pots de Creme. Amazing! — 7 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
My 2nd favorite 20 yr behind Grahams. Ramos Pinto is good as well, but seems to have to bottle to bottle variability issues…. Taylor is a great standby at a good price. — 4 years ago
I would drink this every day. Floral delight. Orange wine technically. Perfect summer wine and my favorite of the Kindeli selection I’ve tried so far this vintage. — 6 years ago
Sauv Blanc actually. Smells of baked golden apples, grapefruit, wood, and toast on the nose. Dried apples and candied lemon peel on the palate with notes of vanilla custard lingering on the finish. Goes well with most food. Slightly over-oaked in my opinion but a good value — 6 years ago
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
Aromas bounding out of the glass. Hay, fresh cut grass, grapefruit, and lemon rind. Sav Blanc on steroids. Fresh and tropical mouthfeel - lime zest, citrus and grassy flavors. Solid acidity, classic New Zealand. — 7 years ago
