"Mid purple colour. An attractive fresh bouquet. Floral and intensely fruity at the same time. Pitch perfect balance, a remarkable fruit energy with deep cherries, and good acidity." 90, Jasper Morris

This mediterranean-charactered wine has an earthy aroma with a concentrated palate dense, generous and warm.

"The 2022 Fleurie Clos Vernay, from a terroir of pink granite and quartz, is open on the nose with notes of candied pomegranate, blueberry, violets, sweet pea blossoms and dried ginger. The palate mirrors these same aromas with a velvety concentration, lifted and texturized with fine-grained tannins. Aged for 15 months in 228- and 350-liter barrels, this medium to full-bodied...

"The 2021 Côte de Brouilly has a floral bouquet with rose petals and hints of cassis on the nose, building in intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins, precise and cohesive with darker fruit mixed with Asian spices towards the finish. Very fine." Neal Martin, Vinous

"The 2020 Fleurie, which comes from two parcels on pink granite soil, includes 30% whole bunch. The nose is quite backward and required some coaxing from the glass. The palate is more open at the moment, quite intense with supple tannins, tart red fruit laced with white pepper on the finish." Neal Martin, Vinous

"This a textbook, elegant style of Marlborough Pinot, with pretty aromatics of cranberry, tobacco leaf, baking spice, red plum and cherry. The palate has layered fruit, nice flow, a touch of oak, moderate tannins and good carry. Fruit is drawn from across the region, including the Southern Valleys, Awatere and the tiny southern subregion of Kekerengu Coast. Winemaker Simon Waghorn...

"Red berries and rose petals, textbook Nebbiolo elevated to perfection. Piano wire tension carrying the wine from start to finish, the tannins are plentiful and rich without being astringent acting as the backbone holding the fruit expression tight but allowing individual expression as the wine sits on the mid palate. Needs time but already so compelling! Stunning Giacosa brilliance." Armit...

"A fruity and refined wine with blackberry, black-chocolate and subtle berry and spice character. Medium body, medium tannins and a succulent finish. 65% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 15% cabernet sauvignon. Mostly from grapes of Castillon with some vats from top estates. Delicious now, but can age." 92, James Suckling
