NZ is not just for Pinot and SB. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Typical bdx style black currant and cherry with a minty note and under lying minerality.

I had kahu before and was good but the second time is not as good. Maybe too young. It does have a blue fruit but bitter as well.

Tasty and different bdx style from NZ. On the nose yeasty dark fruit and some floral elements. In the mouth, bright fruit, good acid and some light forest floor. Medium tannins, medium-long finish. At 20 bucks, an easy buy for me.
