1 A pleasant surprise from this relatively young producer. The aromas and flavors are welcoming and complex, ranging from dried spices and botanicals through plummy, savory fruit, while the tannins are supple and the texture rich. Lingering black cherries and spice mark the finish. Drink now–2015. ——J.C.(4/1/2011)—— 90

A light, easy-drinking wine from the first crop off Woollaston's Nelson Pinot Noir vineyard. Tea, cinnamon and clove notes accent vanilla and cherry flavors. Soft tannins build a little on the relatively short finish.——J.C.(12/1/2005)—— 86
