The colour was medium-deep red, with a medium edge. The bouquet had spicy vanilla, berry and tannins. The flavour had berry fruit, and a medium oak tannin finish. This wine was quite soft and fruity with moderate tannin balance, and medium body. Awards: NZ Wine Awards 2011 pure silver, Marlborough Wine Show 2011 highly recommended.
Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!
Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
