This wine comes from a marriage of two different Tarras vineyard Central Otago terroir. The darker spectrum fruit from the Canyon site (20%) and the red fruits spectrum from the Steppes vineyard (80%). The colour is rich in bold black and red hues. A bouquet of berries, cherries, dark chocolate, spicy and black currants. The wine on the palate is full, ripe and complex with a spicy undercurrent. Showing cherry, plum and blackberry with well integrated oak in abundance. Certainly a full-bodied wine with dense, but supple tannins, long and rich on the palate. This wine is ready to enjoy on release, but will develop additional nuances and becoming increasingly complex with careful cellaring of 8-10 years.
*What the critics think*
From its first vintage in 2006, this label has produced outstanding Pinot Noir, thanks to a combination of great sites at the northern end of the Cromwell Basin and a dedicated team. This is a dark, gorgeously fragrant and firm in grip - heavenly with rabbit terrine.” Rating; 5 Star Cuisine Magazine - November 2009
“Deep, bold colour yet the nose is quite restrained. The palate though is full, ripe, deep and complex with a spicy undercurrent, showing cherry, plum and blackberry with well integrated oak in abundance. Big, full bodied wine, yet not too sweet with its huge but supple tannins it is long and rich on the palate. Very nice drinking.” Rating; 5 Star WINE NEW ZEALAND MAGAZINE, WINTER 2009 (Short listed – top ten nz pinot noir under $35) Cuisine Magazine - November 2009
“This is a combination of two vineyards, “Steppes” and “Canyon”. I tasted it alongside its more expensive single vineyard parents (to be reviewed shortly). I liked it more on the first day’s tasting and fractionally less on the next, so the score is that of day one as I’m a lovely sort of bloke. And a fair one too.” “Brightly lit for a Central Otago with cherries, strawberry, spice and a kiss of oak. It has some cola lolly flavours too, rolling around sweetly on the forest floor. It’s mid weight with fine tannins and good fresh acidity - the combination of sweet/savoury/spice makes it a most affable and enjoyable sort of wine. Tick.
