Made from fruit sourced from the Wanaka subregion, this is a complex yet refreshing Pinot Noir, filled with scents and flavors of cherries, beet greens, herbal notes and button mushrooms. It’s mouthfilling yet supple, with notable vivacity. Drink now–2015.

A hint of flintiness adds a touch of austerity to the nose, which otherwise features pineapple and quince. This off-dry wine is on the tart side; citrus and melon notes pick up a trace of bitterness on the finish.

This medium-bodied Pinot Gris is nearly dry in style, with crisp acids that give it a somewhat angular feel. Melon and citrus notes finish with a slightly bitter hint of orange pith. Drink now.

This starts off nicely enough, with hints of cherries, rose petals and cedar, but the promise isn’t quite fulfilled on the palate, which is lightweight and simple, with cedar- and coffee-tinged oak gradually taking over.
