Got this bottle on our honeymoon. I'd say it's best when young. Slightly floral, light, almost effervescent. — 11 years ago
Medium bodied with bright acidity and ripe red fruit character, liquorice and spice alone with characteristic Sangiovese earthiness. A great wine that is versatile and food-friendly. Similar to chianti. — 11 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 — 11 years ago

Michela è una persona tanto esile e delicata quanto energica quando trasmette l'amore per i suoi vini. Prima degustazione di domenica alle 8.30 di mattina! Questo vino fa capire quanto di buono possa aggiungere il vignaiolo trasformando un vitigno esuberante e spesso sgraziato in una pezza di velluto che si lascia accarezzare. Provatelo e confrontate o con altri della stessa varietà e capirete! — 10 years ago
