"The palate is refreshing and vibrant"
"A youthful nose displaying red plum, spice and subtle dried herb characters. The palate is refreshing and vibrant with good acidity and fine tannins. A well balanced medium-bodied Merlot with a clean soft finish. At its best: now to 2010". Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Dark coloured, warm and showing plenty of depth and fruit-weight. A classy Merlot with a hint of Malbec in support, drinking well now with a dinner of beef, lamb, spicy pizza or tasty cheese platter." Peter Saunders
"Grass Cove as Captain James Cook called it during his second voyage to New Zealand in 1773 is to be found in Marlborough’s scenic Queen Charlotte Sound. For the British explorers aboard Cook’s HMS Resolution and companion ship HMS Adventure, Marlborough was a bountiful haven to replenish and refresh - just as it is today for wine lovers the world over. The Grass Cove Wine Company proudly continues this tradition, producing classic wines of Marlborough".
