“Full of personality. Weighty and concentrated, with sweet-fruit flavours of grapefruit melon and lime, a slightly minerally streak and a tight bone-dry, lasting finish.”
Winestate magazine, Australia

“«««««Classy and immaculate wine.”
Winestate magazine, Australia

"This has real texture that builds on the palate making it a complex, savoury wine with layered depth on the finish." 90/100
Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com, November 2009, UK"Floral and perfumed.  Basil, citrus, lemons.  Chalky and tactile on the mid palate."
Richard Hemming, jancisrobinson.com, 16 Nov 2009, UK"Match this wine to the right food and it really comes into its own.  In this instance it was freshly picked Marlborough asparagus with a prosciutto wrap, served warm with a lime infused aioli dip.  Simply perfect."
Sue Courtney, www.wineoftheweek.com, Oct 2009, NZ"From a company that is committed to producing food-friendly, structured sauvignon, this is their best yet"
Paul Tudor, Metro magazine, October 2009, NZ"Reminiscent of the finest French examples"
Paul Tudor, Metro magazine, October 2009, NZ"Herbal and punchy at first, yet with a minerality and flintness reminiscent of the finest French examples"
Paul Tudor, Metro magazine, October 2009, NZ“Lovely fruit definition, aromatic, intense citrus, grapefruit and gooseberry flavours, vibrant acidity and a crisp finish.”
Kerry Skinner, Illawarra Mercury, 25 July 2009, Australia
“A standout Kiwi savvy.”
Kerry Skinner, Illawarra Mercury, 25 July 2009, Australia“Delicious Marlborough sauvignon, with intense lime and gooseberry aromas.”
Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald, 14 July 2009, Australia“Very good depth of flavour, smooth and intense with richness and generosity while maintaining balance and delicacy.”
Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald, 14 July 2009, Australia
****"The palate's smoothly honed with blue fruit flavours and smooth flowing soft tannins.  Just what the doctor ordered at this price point - a balance and approachable easy-drinking pinot." 90
Nick Stock, The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2010, November 2009, Australia"The long spicy finish has interesting layers of earthy, vegetal fruit and smoky tannins." 90/100
Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com, November 2009, UK"Some charming red fruit and violet characters.  Luxurious tannins.  Peppery spice on the finish.  Lengthy and satisfying - good gourmet character."
Richard Hemming, jancisrobinson.com, 16 Nov 2009, UK“I thought this was a good wine when I tried it, but the next night it had really opened up.”
Rick Allen, Mosman Daily, 9 July 2009, Australia
