Pyramid Valley Central Otago Pinot Noir 2020
$65.00Out of Stock
I tasted this wine on days 2 and 3 as well to learn about its development potential. Turned out to be a good idea with the most complex aromas alongside scents of the variety and region showing best on day 3. Flavours of black cherry and baked raspberry, there’s a fine stony mineral quality and […]

$100.00Wonderful intensity, combining the wealth of sweet dark fruits, classic Central Otago, with a high toned coolness and coiled power.

Dog Point Pinot Noir 2021
$55.00A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes.

Rippon Lolo’s Block Pinot Noir 2019
$155.00A one off release (pity!), to commemorate the 70th birthday of Rippon’s co-founder, Lois Mills. Lolo’s Block is the highest of all Rippon vineyards and is the lowest yielding, due to its warmth and least fertile soils. Only 14 dozen made it to Australia, and of that we have only 12 bottles. The most complex […]

Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2018
$138.00It’s hard to express, but smells tighter, with some more noticeable oak. Plum, Daphne, creme de cassis, raspberry and brown spice. The structure is more evident than in the Mature Vine and is cooler, cosseted and slightly less expressive. Very long, so persistent with those trademark velvety/chalk tannins that become more firm and morph into […]

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2012 Cellar Release
$165.00Direct from the cool dark cellars of Rippon, and at 10 years old this is drinking beautifully. It’s interesting to taste the estate’s DNA, with no perceptible style changes over the years. As always, an expression of vintage, and 2012 is considered great according to Nick Mill, owner/winemaker at Rippon. Red fruits, cherry, plum, strawberry, […]

Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2019
$145.00Emma’s Block is at the bottom of the slope, by the lake, facing east. The soils, like the rest of the estate are of schist. This is a cool site, with winds whipping up off the lake and hitting Emma’s first. Cool and high toned, floral, pretty with more spice and red and briary fruit. […]

Black Estate Damsteep Pinot Noir 2020
$65.00The dense mid-palate retains a sense of transparency in the mouth. There are red cherry aromas, florals, mushroom nuances and subtle baking spices waiting to blossom within the dense core. The abundant acidity makes your mouth water like a flowing stream. The fine chalky tannins in combination with the acidity provide a line of tension […]

Black Estate Home Pinot Noir 2020
$50.00This has an attractively savory nose of wild blueberries, peppercorns, earth and thyme. Medium-bodied with tight-grained tannins and tangy acidity. I like the smoky, ashy energy here. Very persistent. From organically grown grapes. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink or hold. 94 points, James Suckling Deep ruby hue. Smells like dark plum, violets, black olive, woody […]
