"Medium-deep red/purple colours with youthful primary dark plums and cherries on the nose. The palate shows Merlot's sumptuous fruit characters and silky texture with firm tannins. A very luscious and appealing wine. At its best: now to 2010." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2007.
"Showing good density, with plenty of development ahead, this is a dark, vibrantly fruity Hawke's Bay red with spice flavours and concentrated blackcurrant, framed by firm tannins." Cuisine Top Ten New Zealand Merlots, September 2006.
"Some overt oak and tannin balanced by bountiful fruit flavours. Just settling down and the best may be ahead but, for now, here's a mouthfilling wine." Winestate Regional Tasting - Hawke's Bay - Sept/Oct 2006.
