Waiheke Island Rose 2015

I brought this bottle back from New Zealand all the way to NYC. Loved visiting the vineyard and this rosé was a favorite - fragrant aromas of strawberry and peach with a warm, fresh finish. It was perfect on this near 70° evening. — 8 years ago

Destiny Bay

Mystae Waiheke Island Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

A rare beast indeed, this Bordeaux style blend - from New Zealand! 55% Cab Sauv, 26% Merlot, 11% Cab Franc, 6%Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot - it's quite a crowded field.

Nonetheless, this is a great wine and '07 is just about ready for drinking.

Cedar wood and forest fruits on the nose; with a strong red fruit palette followed by wood and herbs and a long, consistent finish.

An absolute treat for Sunday roast, or a rainy Sunday afternoon!

A damn fine Shiraz, more in the French style than the Australian, so smoother and not so 'big'. — 9 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Made our way to this vineyard after our hike of the Hidland Trail on Waiheke. The soft lemon is followed by a smooth hazelnut finish that went perfect with the red snapper caught fresh today. — 8 years ago

Tipping the scales across the board, with high %, high acidity, high tannins and massive fruit, framed by loads of toasty oak. Elegant? No. Will I buy again? No. Impressive? Yes. — 9 years ago

Nice little lunch wine, not a lot of depth, a little empty I guess, but nice light lunch wine
