Review

“This wine caught me by surprise. I haven’t tasted a cabernet sauvignon this ripe from any other cool climate wine region. With ripe, sweet, rich blackberries and black currant flavours and a rich palate weight the wine is incredibly attractive. The big fruit flavours are balanced beautifully with very fine, powdery tannins and a touch of fresh mint in the very long, juicy without a hint. An excellent wine.”

4 ½ stars – Neil Hodgson, Nelson Mail.
