Veteran winemaker Nick Goldschmidt has crafted a simple, appealing Marlborough Pinot Noir featuring bright cranberry and pie-cherry fruit, some slightly mossy or herbal elements, medium body and supple tannins. Drink now.——J.C.(9/1/2011)—— 85

This is a medium- to full-bodied Pinot with plenty of concentration and ripeness. You get ripe black cherries upfront and all the way through the long finish—the only thing this wine really needs is more complexity. Pretty good value. ——J.C.(6/1/2010)—— 88
