Wine from New Zealand

Decanter, 95 points: Peaches, lemons, red apples and tropical fruit leap from the glass. Quite a textural Sauvignon Blanc with sweet grass, grapefruit, nut and subtle honey flavours and a rich and creamy palate. An interesting example with...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: I saw these grapes on the vine the night before harvest in 2014 and they were remarkable for their flavorsome depth and thick but supple skin texture. The wine carries the same qualities. It's deeply complex, indulging...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Plush and velvety, with a note of warm vanilla bean mingling with the black cherry and plum flavors. Spice, cedar and chai tea elements are intense on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 300 cases imported. –MW

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Aromatic and expressive, with smooth cedar, toasted hazelnut, baked apple and poached pear notes, graced by accents of nutmeg, lemon meringue pie, fig and chamomile. The finish goes on and on, showing juicy accents. Drink...

MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: Lifted, aromatic pinot noir with cherry, floral and fresh herb flavours plus a seasoning of spicy oak. A pure, fruit-focused wine with energy and power delivered with subtlety. Bright, attractive and reasonably accessible...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Pungent passion fruit and fragrant melon, Tahitian lime citrus, this really takes sauvignon to another place for Marlborough, exposing the edgy, exciting and minerally possibilities whilst embracing the rampant intensity...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2017 Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc continues this vineyard's fine tradition for producing aromatic, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc. It combines hints of crushed tomato leaf and nettles with passion fruit...

MW Bob Campbell, 94 points: Intense Riesling with citrus, apricot/tree fruit, toast, brioche, floral and spice flavours. A powerful and complex wine with a multi-layered and very lengthy finish. It appears to be quite developed for a wine from the...

MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: Unusually rich, fleshy Chardonnay in a mouth-filling and accessible style that makes a change from the rather more steely wine I expect under this label. Quite oaky with ginger, ripe peach, tree fruits and a hint of...
