I tasted the 2006/07 at the winery...what a nice place to visit in the summer (don't try and find it your self though) This is a full bodied cab, a little bit of a crowd pleaser. Lots of thick ripe fruit and wood but balanced and a touch tannic. Not bad, but not so special Try the 19 block mt veeder...it's got more to offer in my opinion for about the same price.

This is a juicy, succulent pinot with punching acidity. Sweet and sour cherries and cola flavour pretty much sum it up. There might even be a hint of hickory on the nose... Score = Central Otago RESPECT!

This is right on the money for me! I love the strawberry and mushroom notes. It's smooth with a little heat on the finish. This is most definitely a pleasure to drink and a quaint every day sipper! Score = Strawberry delicious.

Tasted the 2011. Amazing, one of the most natural and beautiful expressions of Chardonnay from Niagara I have ever tasted. Check out the full video review and write-up by Michael Pinkus "the Grape Guy" at
