Huntaway 1998 Reserve Limited Edition Red (North Island)
- $15
A powerful red that relies more on nonfruit aromas and flavors for its character: smoke, cedar, cocoa and a large helping of bitter herbs all shift and intermingle over, under and through cassis and black cherries.

Alpha Domus 2001 Chardonnay (North Island)
- $14
Peach, mint and toasted hazelnut aromas lead into bright, citrusy peach and pear flavors. Finishes clean and crisp, albeit a little short. A tasty lightweight built to serve as an apéritif or with light fish and chicken preparations.

Huntaway 1998 Reserve Chardonnay (North Island)
- $15
No doubt a blend of Hawkes Bay and Gisborne fruit that’s unfortunately lost its way in a lumberyard. It’s full, indicating adequate sugar levels, but lacks fruit flavor, instead relying on wood for much of its character.
