What The Critics Say
95/100 Bob Campbell MW (2019 vintage)
"Tantalisingly pure pinot noir with fresh cherry, red rose petal, and sweet plum flavours together with a seasoning of spice and anise. A silken-textured wine that delvers power with great subtlety 09 MAR 2021."
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim (2019 vintage)
"It's wonderfully fruited and inviting on the nose showing dark plum, sweet cherry, thyme, almond and subtle game characters. The palate displays elegant weight and lovely flow, well complemented by fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins. Stylish and refined with a terrific length. At its best: now to 2027. $47.00. www.chardfarm.co.nz. March 2021."
94/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2019 vintage)
"Vibrant, intense, fruity and varietal with aromas of dried cherry and raspberry, boysenberry, flinty mineral core and dark roses. Complex, layered with toasty wood and oak spices and a touch of char. On the palate - dry, salivating, fruity, varietal and delicious. The freshness and vibrancy on the palate delivers a wine ready to enjoy as well as cellar worthy attributes. Flavours of red berries and dried herbs, wood spices and toastiness. Firm tannins with medium+ acidity and a lengthy finish. Best enjoyed from mid to late 2022 through 2030. If drinking before 2022 then best enjoyed with food."
