"This is released rather young for such a deep, solid, structured pinot. It's youthful and the oak is fairly obvious, the tannins firm and slightly grippy. A big wine which will come into its own with time, and should drink well for many years." Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine June 2016

awarded 92/100 points Points: Bob Campbell

"Elegant, fruit-packed Pinot Noir with plum, raspberry, violet, fresh herb and spicy oak flavours. A smooth-textured wine that's accessible now but should develop well in the medium-term." Bob Campbell

"Grown on Waihopai Valley clay and nurtured by the warmth of the 2013 summer, this wine is a successful fusion of opulence and freshness. Dark alluring fruit is underscored by well-defined acidity and fine tannins. Have it with a classic beef bourguignon" Cuisine Magazine

Concentrated aromas of red and black forest fruits dominate combined with dried herbs and spicy cedar notes. To taste, the flavour profile is savoury and spice, rich and ripe without losing precise pinot noir detail. Tannins are moderate but integrated, leaving a lasting impression of texture (density), harmony and not least; definitive vineyard and southern Marlborough clays character. 13.4% alc.

awarded 93/100 Points: Wine Spectator 

awarded 90/100 Points: Decanter Asia Wine Awards

awarded 4 ½ Stars: Michael Cooper

This Pinot Noir shows an impressive concentration of flavour and a nice acid backbone. The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation in barrel have added complexity and texture to the dark cherry and raspberry characters found on the palate. 14% alc.

awarded 4 Stars:  Cuisine Magazine May 2016

awarded 93/100 POints: Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"From their Eyrie Vineyard in the Lower Waihopai Valley, the wine offers rich fruit intensity with seductive savoury complexity. The complex bouquet shows dark berry, truffle, cedar and vanilla characters with nuances of mixed spice and game notes. The palate is concentrated and beautifully weighted, and delivers plenty of attractive flavours as well as velvety texture, wonderfully structured by polished tannins. The wine is flavoursome and generous, while remaining elegant and stylish. At its best: now to 2019." Wine Orbit

Elegant and aromatic, ripe plum and cherry fruits mingle with delicate lifted floral notes on the nose.

"Rich, full-bodied pinot noir with plum, savoury, earth, oak and a suggestion of fresh herbs. Impressive weight and texture with a lingering finish. Good now but the potential to develop well with bottle-age." Bob Campbell

"Smoky and gently fruity bouquet with layers of spice and fruit; aromas of dark plum and cherry, some wood tones and brown spices; raspberry and starwberry with red cherry. On the palate - fruity and dry with layers of silty soil, abundant fine tannins and red berry fruits, medium+ acidity, lovely balance, complexity and finish. A wine worth your time with or without food" Cameron Douglas

Showcases the berry, spice and savoury flavours for which Martinborough Pinot Noir is renowned with the extra depth, texture and complexity that mature vines and an outstanding site deliver. Flavours under-pinned by silky tannins and subtle, refined oak from barrel maturation. 13% alc.

awarded 4 Stars: Yvonne Lorkin

"Soft, silken-textured Pinot Noir, with subtle floral, violet, plum, dark cherry, spice and anise flavours. Appealing, elegant wine that's subtle and seamless. A lengthy finish reveals considerable power that was not obvious at first. A charmer."  Bob Campbell

Vibrant forward fruit continues the length of the palate structured by integrated juicy acidity, sweet savoury oak and fine silky tannins. 14% alc.

Suggested food match: Duck with wild berry sauce and beetroot salad.
