94 points James Suckling: "This has a very rich, ripe and attractive feel with innate depth that arrives by means of the region, experience and methods in play here. The dark and red cherries and plums are beautifully fresh and vibrant and framed in earthy, sappy notes that add complexity. The palate is intense yet plush. The rich dark cherries are cleverly captured and wrapped in reassuringly long, smooth tannins. Lots to like here! Drink or hold. Screw cap. (10/16/19)"

93 points and 'Editors' Choice),' Wine Enthusiast: "Winemaker Larry McKenna is known as the King of Pinot Noir in the Wairarapa-Martinborough region and this wine, as well as his single vineyards, clearly demonstrates why. Highly perfumed and spicy, it's a heady combo of bright red berries, greengage plums, cloves, cedar and a streak of minerality like morning sun warming stones. On the palate, tannins are powdery and fine, slinking around crunchy red berries. This is a tightrope walk of elegance and purity, delicacy and power. Alcohol 13%. (Nov 2019)"
