Very pleasant Sauvignon Blanc, light and dry and not grassy like typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs — 6 years ago
Fyllig med väldig hög syra. Klarar nog en del lagring. Tydlig kallt klimat stil. Provat direkt från fat. — 7 years ago
Somm friend said it was bonkers good and that all her natural-wine friends were head-over-heels for this selection. Really juicy red fruit, almost effervescent. Def tastes like a natural wine--maybe some carbonic.

Best NZ savvie I've had in a long time. Hello old friend! — 9 years ago
2014: Now we are in the presence of royalty so mind your P's and Qs. Te Mata 'reputedly' make the best NZ red in Coleraine and this is the little brother's er little brother. It is beetroot red showing it is as fresh as a daisy. But the taste is already exceptional for the year and the price at $22. No cab sav grassy rebellion and no merlot tart it is refined, low acid low sweetness. Like the All Blacks No. 10 we obviously have depth in numbers and age. It is a delight to drink and will surely improve. I like it — 10 years ago

Terrific biodynamic Sangiovese from eastern Romagna. Great funkiness to this. Relatively light, tinged with orange- this packs tremendous flavor with a long finish. Has that bubbly feel on the tongue. I love it — 4 years ago
