CHAMPION PINOT 2018 NZ ROYAL EASTER SHOW
This ruby red wine has a nose full of dark cherries and blackberries with underlying earthy notes and subtle oak toast. The palate entices with black cherries, crushed spice and a hint of savoury followed by a mellow fruitiness giving way to fine silky tannins on the back palate and a lengthy finish
19/20 POINTS: RAYMOND CHAN
Brilliant purple/garnet hue with aromas of crushed raspberry, boysenberry, mulberry, and vanilla. Richly concentration on the palate with creamy, fine tannin that build in the mouth. Lifted fresh berry flavors and juicy acidity give the wine vibrant that exudes marries beautifully with its prominent frame.
In the glass it has brilliant clarity with deep ruby hues. There's a punchy bouquet - dark cherry and sweet spice with rose and violet - and plenty of ripe brambly fruit. Hint or two of fresh herbs. The juicy fruit continues on the palate with an overlay of licorice/meatiness, and there's trademark texture, finishing with a nice glycerol note and finely chewy tannins. Lively acid and bags of flavour.
2013 Terra Sancta SHINGLE BEACH Child Pinot Noir
95 POINTS: BOB CAMPBELL
The colour is ruby and unique for Central Otago. The wine has an intense perfume of exotic spices, fresh leather and cassis. The palate is concentrated with rich layers of dark cherries and earthy flavours. Fine tannins lead to a sustained, enigmatic finish.
2014 Chard Farm TIGER Pinot Noir
95 POINTS: BOB CAMPBELL
Bright red cherry and currant fruits combined with woody herbs and spice to deliver a complex perfume. The entry is soft and dominated by the red berry fruits, then layer upon layer of fine tannin build and expand on the palate to a calm yet powerful finish as the fruit turns to more herbal and savory tones that carry the flavour length.
2015 Valli BANNOCKBURN Pinot Noir
93-96 POINTS: RAYMOND CHAN
Depth and structure. This is a wonderfully powerful wine, presenting some intense dark fruits, and violet on the nose. The palate is round and structured offering beautify ripeness and approach-ability. A wine to drink now and over the next 10 years.
