Wine from New Zealand

MW Bob Campbell, 96 points: Reasonably light in colour but there is nothing light about the aroma and flavour of this elegant and quite complex pinot noir. It’s a bright, high energy wine that’s rippling with light. A nice mix of berry and cherry...

MW Bob Campbell, 98 points: An intense, velvety Pinot Noir, with strong sweet cherry, Oriental spices, plum, violet and nutty oak flavours. A powerful wine in a style that often attracts criticism for being too big and lacking varietal identity, but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2011 Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir has a pretty cherry, red berry and lavender nose scented by some underbrush and toast. Medium-bodied the good core of fruit is framed with crisp acid...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Medium garnet colored with a hint of purple, the 2010 Terraces Syrah shows off a wonderfully expressive nose of kirsch, mulberries and black raspberries with underlying baking spice and toast hints. The medium to...
