Classic Central Otago dark brooding character, but with more elegance than Gibbston Valley or Valli. The nose is all blue and black fruit, with a vein of cedar spice, Med-full bodied, complex, with a silky mouthfeel. Serious weight, but not heavy. A cross between the dark weight of Otago and a good Gevrey. Strong buy. — 3 years ago

Red and blue fruits give way to orange zest , animal fur ,baking spices violets and minerals . Rich and full-bodied on the palate yet has Wonderful elegance and mineral infused finish with lingering cherry and dry extract . This wine comes from the valley floor and you get the richness and depth from the heavier soil. A stunning bottle that will improve over the next few years and last at least a decade more . — 5 years ago

Feudi del Pisciotto Giambattista Valli Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG 2016: 60% Nero d’Avola/40% Frappato. Aromatic, red fruits, soft spice and a long pleasant finish. Sicily’s only DOCG & a Gambero Rosso 3 Bicchieri award winner! Seek it out & give it a try! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

More spice and less full fruit character than Central/Gibbston expression.. nose says plum but palate is dominated by Sour cherry giving freshness. Tasted back to back with the Etna, this lost bigtime. — 5 years ago

This is my favorite white wine. I’m a sucker for earthy/yeasty/cloudy wines in red so this is quite a surprise in white — 6 years ago

This is almost wine of the year for me. Impeccably made, lovely balance, complex, gorgeous grapefruit and white peach, subtle hints of sandalwood and spice. The weight of the wine is sublime. 13.5 alc but it's so wrapped up in the overall product, there's no obvious heat. Sublime — 6 years ago

Raisins bit of Sherry-like taste. Not a lot of tanines but makes lips tingle. Quite nice and full. Easy enough to drink. — 3 years ago

Dark and luminous. On the nose, this is a dead ringer for a big Gibbston Valley pinot. Red and black fruit, cherry, but the spice is the overriding trait. A very spicy cherry character with lovely silky mouthfeel. Broad but a little less structured and a bit shorter than a Valli or Gibbston Valley, but at $52, much better value. — 5 years ago

A great bouquet on the nose, acidity is firm with sour cranberry and raspberry fruit with wonderful length, this will evolve into a great wine I must be patient with my NZ Pinot — 6 years ago
