Pegasus Bay

Prima Donna Pinot Noir 2017

Deep ruby. Dark sweet plum, salty and floral. The palate is med-full bodied, med acidity, soft-med tannin. There is a dark savoury element that gives the wine gravitas. Beautiful balance. Power without weight. Powerful and beautiful. — 2 years ago

Mt. Beautiful

North Canterbury Riesling 2017

My first NZ Riesling. Off dry. Heavy petrol aromas with slight notes of lemon, green apple and a hint of cat pee. Pronounced flavors of apple and flint with a bit of lemon on the finish. Very much a Riesling, but also somewhat unique. — 4 years ago

Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2014

新西兰的黑皮诺!芬芳的花香果香,入口有奶油气味!由此判断一定用的是法国新橡木桶。2012年习大大访新西兰,国宴用酒之一。和剑道馆的大家吃潮汕牛肉,很清新。 — 9 years ago
