Awarded Top Tip "...These flavours all rest on chalky tannins which complement the depth of flavours perfectly.  Excellent now and in the future."    - TizWine.com, NZ

  “The berry fruit here has a savoury edge which grows more obvious with time and provides a counter point to the rich fruit.  Medium bodied and complex with good use of the 4 varieties.  Ages well to give a complex wine with a steady maturation curve across the vintages in an appealing house style.”    - Robert Geddes, MW, Australian Wine Vintages 2011

“Ultra-satisfying and oozing character, this Canterbury-grown cracker is the absolute business.”    -  Yvonne Lorkin, Manawatu Standard, NZ

  “… deeply coloured, with a hint of development, it is mouthfilling, rich and complex, with blackcurrant, spice and herb flavours, dense and savoury, and a firm finish.  Showing good muscle and tannin structure.”

“This top class wine is well-balanced, with great length and a good, smooth, velvety mouth feel. The deep plum colour made it lovely to behold.”    - Bev Wood, Hamilton Press, NZ
