Vinous, 94 points: There's a delectable creaminess and rich weightiness to this Sauvignon Blanc. The label states that it hails from old vines; at an average 25 years, they are indeed pretty old in a very new, New World wine country. This...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is a punchy and chiseled Coddington with attractive peach and citrus-fruit aromas, as well as hazelnuts and white stones. The palate has a very focused, pure shape with a central spine of intense peach flavor, crisp...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Quite an intense, rich, red and dark-cherry and red-plum nose. There are some sappy and spicy elements on offer, too. The palate has such smooth, fleshy and fluid texture with bright red cherries sitting up on the finish...
MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: Lovely wine! An appealing core of sweet fruit with white peach, nectarine and a lovely saline-mineral lift supported by gentle acidity. A totally seductive, fruit-forward wine with an ethereal texture.
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This vintage punches well above its weight division with such complex and expertly curated style. Peach, nectarine, lemon and grapefruit aromas with flinty and pithy allure. The palate has a core of intense peach and...
MW Bob Campbell, 96 points: Attractive aroma with floral and berry notes that repeat on the palate and are joined by ripe stems, dried herb and spicy oak flavours. Quite a firmly-structured pinot with peppery tannins and obvious cellaring potential...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This has an air of refinement and elegance. Bright, fine red-cherry aromas arrive nice and pure on the nose, leading to a palate that has a smooth, chalky edge and a seamlessly fresh red-fruit finish. Brilliant wine...
Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: On the restrained side, relatively speaking, this white offers attractive aromas of tangerine, lime blossom and honeysuckle, with just a suggestion of oak. The palate harmonizes texture with refreshment, echoing the nose...
MW Bob Campbell, 96 points: This is only the second release of this single vineyard wine from one of the older vineyard sites in Bannockburn. A seductively soft and silken pinot noir, with initial fruit sweetness giving way to a pleasantly drying...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This has a plush, rich and velvety feel with black cherries and a very pristine, concentrated palate that delivers long, fresh and rich fruit flavor. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
MW Bob Campbell, 97 points: Deep ruby colour - quite dense. Weighty, intense wine with bright cassis, black berry, liquorice, anise, peat and spicy oak flavours. Very New World with a strong fruit focus. A powerhouse of a wine with cellaring potential
jamessuckling.com, 92 points: From a newly acquired site in Hawke’s Bay, this has a gently waxy edge and displays a wealth of ripe melon and pears. The palate is supple and mellow, very even and elegant with effortless length. Drink now. Screw cap.
MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: A 20% drop in yield has resulted in greater intensity. About 12% barrel-fermented. Typical Te Muna wet stone, saline, lime, citrus and blackcurrant bud flavours. Deliciously tangy acid gives a mouth-watering finish.
