Tasting Notes
Viticulture
This wine is a blend of different Pinot Noir clones sourced from different blocks in our vineyard. The 2005 harvest was cool and low cropping with the wines produced rewarded with great structure, depth of colour and concentrated flavours.

3½ STARS - Michael Cooper
Winestate magazine, August 2007
Spicy, almost syrah-like wine, matured in all-new French oak.
Deeply coloured, with fresh acidity, a strong, smoky wood influence
and good depth and complexity. Still youthful. $36
Graeme Barrow

It’s fresh and frisky, balanced with cherry and roast meat aromas
and flavours and a smooth texture.
Peter Shaw
Waikato Times, April 2007
There are cherries and oak aromas on the nose, and the palate has
dark berry flavours of cherries and oak and spice. It’s a well-structured
wine with balance.
