Five Stars, 93/100, Gourmet Traveller Wine Collectors Issue "A sound, tasty and well-balanced Pinot Noir from Lowburn in Central Otago. A wine doing very well while youthful yet showing the depth of fruit of a fine wine emerging." Four Stars, Winestate Magazine. "Vibrant, deep, intense nose. Extremely full and fruity start with some fine, grainy tannin on the finish and very good acidity. Round and slightly herbal." Jancis Robinson 18/20.
"Tangy and rich, with lovely, ripe strawberry and blackberry flavors supported by zingy acidity, all of it lasting nicely on the generous finish. Drink now through 2009. 6,000 cases made. (HS)" The Wine Spectator, July 31st, 2005.
"Supple and rich, with a savoury, concentrated palate, warm and spicy. Fleshy and cherryish, with a long finish." 4 1/2 Stars, Cuisine Magazine NZ.
