Pinot Noir 864
Hazeldene Vineyard
Oakridge
JamesSuckling.com -
This has an entrancing nose of ripe raspberries,
dark strawberries and red cherries, as well as pomegranate, blood
oranges, exotic and fresh-ground spices and pristine perfume. So
luxuriant. There’s a lot to take in. The palate has superior fleshy
depth and very fluid mesh-like tannins that wrap long and complete.
Cage-like. It delivers such freshness and depth of flavour. This is a
triumph. |

Chardonnay 864
Funder and Diamond Vineyard
Oakridge
JamesSuckling.com -
Very impressively struck purity and power here
in this top-flight Oakridge chardonnay. It has a nose of flinty
grapefruit, white peaches, lemon pith and wet stony minerals. The palate
carries mouth-watering acidity, which is cast alongside powerfully
fleshy fruit. Long, chiselled and deeply intense. There is richness
building up at the finish. |

Pinot Noir
Escarpment
Wine Spectator -
Dusty white pepper and rose
petal notes are aromatic, leaping out of the glass to complement the
dense core of mineral-laced dark fruit flavours, with plenty of anise
and nutmeg details. The intensity gains momentum on the finish, which
is expressive and generous. |

Vibrant, with blood
orange and plum flavours that are juicy and expressive. Mineral and
herb notes linger in the background. Dense, muscular tannins provide the
framework. |

Pinot Noir
Escarpment
Antonio Galloni -
Deep red with ruby tones.
More anise and herbs on the nose than the basic bottling, along with
raspberry and a hint of fresh dill. Broad, sweet and fine-grained,
with the enticing raspberry fruit component complicated by herbs,
spices, earth and minerals. Really spreads out to dust the palate
without leaving any impression of weight. Finishes with a youthful edge
and noteworthy energy. This essentially generous wine is kept firm in
the early going by its stem component. |

This is a TOP NZ

These fabulous wines are at the same quality level of
many of the best White Burgundies but are a fraction of the price of
their old world counterparts. |

Chardonnay
Hunting Hill Vineyard
Kumeu River
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
The voluminous yet weightless 2016 Hunting Hill Chardonnay continues
this bottling's successful run of vintages. Hints of roasted cashew
accent tropical fruit, but thanks to a zesty line of citrusy acids, the
wine powers forward without ever seeming overly broad or heavy. It
simply coats the mouth with a stunning array of complex flavours,
lingering gently on the finish. |

Chardonnay
Mate's Vineyard
Kumeu River
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
Maté's is usually the tightest, most linear of the KR Chards, and that's
again the case. The 2016 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay is marked by smoky
new oak, but there's also pineapple and grapefruit notes that create a
crisp, acidic spine. Draped off of that are hints of white peaches,
roasted hazelnuts and tangerine. There's an almost briny zestiness to
the lingering finish that sets it apart from the winery's other
single-vineyard bottlings. |
