Intense aromas of dark blueberries and black currents meld together with a subtle touch of vanilla, cedar and spice. The wine has good aging potential and will reward those that have the patience to cellar it for several years.
"A great Pinot Noir takes real work. The cultivar is demanding and difficult, the results can be wild and unpredictable – but when it all comes together, the wondrous depth and complexity are rarely equaled. And that’s why this is the perfect tribute to our beloved Nonno Mario. Confident and assured, brimming with warm strength and character. A New Zealand Pinot masterfully crafted with the depth and style that will find favour with an Italian palate just like Nonno Mario’s. He would have raised this glass with a smile. The heart and body of this wine may be pure New Zealand... but the soul is true Italia. Salute, Nonno!” - JK.14 notes
We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.
Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!
Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money
A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Great Value
At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
