1 x Escarpment Pinot Noir 2014 

awarded 5 stars: Raymond Chan

“Very dark, deep, ruby-red colour with slight black hues at the heart and lighter purple on the rim. The nose is fresh and firmly concentrated with ripe and vibrant fruit aromas of dark red berry and black cherry fruit harmoniously entwined with dark herbs and background whole bunch stalk complexities. The aromatics build in depth and intensity with aeration, unfolding classical violet florals and spice elements. Medium-full bodied, the fruit is rich and plush, and vibrantly succulent, showing flavours of dark red berryfruit and black cherries with complexing dark herb and whole bunch stalk detail. The palate is firmly concentrated with fine-grained tannin extraction in support, balancing the lusciousness. The mouthfeel is vigorous with structure, acid freshness and drive, and the wine carries to a long, fine-textured finish f dark red fruits, herbs and violets. This is a vigorous and vibrant dark red and black-fruited Pinot Noir with herb complexities and plenty of structure. Match with lamb, beef and venison over the next 6-7 years. 60% Te Muna and 40% Martinborough township vineyard fruit, clones 5, Abel, 6, 13, 10/5 and 667, indigenous yeast fermented with 50% whole bunch to 13.8% alc., the wine spending 19 days on skins, and aged 11 months in 30% new French oak barrels' Raymond Chan

1 x Quartz Reef Pinot Noir 2014

awarded 5 stars: Michael Cooper

"A bold, fleshy, generous red. Estate-grown at Bendigo, hand-picked and matured in French oak barriques, the outstanding 2014 vintage (5*) is deep and youthful in colour. Mouthfilling, rich and softly textured, it is a powerful but elegant wine, offering deep plum and spice flavours, complex and savoury. Showing impressive concentration and harmony, it should be long-lived, but it's already delicious." Michael Cooper

awarded 92/100 points: Bob Campbell

"The 2013 Pinot Noir is pale ruby-purple colored and presents fragrant earthy notes of fertile loam and underbrush over a core of red and black cherries plus a hint of violets. A good intensity of relatively complex flavors fill the mouth with earthy accents that support the red and black fruits along with medium level, grainy tannins and lively acidity. It finishes long and graceful." Robert Parker

"Mellow, rich and accessible Pinot Noir with ripe plum, dark cherry, oak and appealing spicy flavours. Intense wine with an interesting undercurrent of dried herb flavours. Well structured and with the potential to develop well" Bob Campbell

"A beautifully styled pinot; aromas of dark cherry, plum, game and clove with subtle cedar complexity on the nose. The palate is concentrated and succulent, and offers layers of fine texture and polished tannins. Lovely fruit purity backed by elegant structure and seductive savoury notes. At its best: now to 2020." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Light, fresh and reasonably flavoursome Pinot Noir, with gentle cherry and plum flavours, a dash of herbs and a seasoning of subtle spicy oak.  Attractive varietal wine that’s well-priced" Bob Campbell
