jamessuckling.com, 99 points: The aromas to this great white show wonderful sherbet, limes, green melon, salt and honey blossom. Full to medium body, with a vertical, compact fruit presence, firmness and great length. Such energy and intensity with...
jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very elegant fresh white flowers with dill. Rich texture and nice candied lemon undertones. Short. Drink now
Wine Spectator, 93 points: A piercing rapier of a wine, with a dry, chiseled feel to the flint, chalk and chive notes that remain steely and focused through the finish. A light verbena hint echoes at the very end. Drink now through 2021. 510 cases...
Decanter, 94 points: A harmonious and balanced style with a high level of fruit concentration on the silken mid-palate. A more restrained style than you might anticipate from New Zealand, but this is the windy Wairarapa providing its own...
