94 / 100"Supple, light-bodied Pinot Noir, with wonderful purity and a mix of fruit, cherry, violet, spice and subtle fresh herb flavours and a saline-like edge. It's a supremely elegant wine with a truly ethereal texture and surprising length."

Tasting Notes
The grapes were sourced from two different vineyards in Waipara Valley. Both vineyards are situated in the centre of Waipara Valley, where the soil is called “Glacial Gravel”.
Bob Campbell: "Supple, light-bodied Pinot Noir, with wonderful purity and a mix of fruit, cherry, violet, spice and subtle fresh herb flavours and a saline-like edge. It's a supremely elegant wine with a truly ethereal texture and surprising length."
This wine is quite aromatic and fruity with a well-integrated acid backbone. Crimson colour with ruby going to a brick red hue. It is a soft and rounded wine with aroma of sweet red berry fruits and red cherries. This is a wine for easy drinking whilst having classic Pinot Noir flavours, and the tannins are notably soft and well rounded. This wine is suitable for mild flavoured foods or drinking by itself.
