"Compelling notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum and clove with a counterbalancing savoury nuance of chicory and radicchio to intrigue. Tense, compact and tightly wound" Decanter World Wine Awards 2025

"Pristine and elegant, showing red cherry, sweet strawberry, thyme and toasted almond notes on the nose. The palate displays juicy fruit flavours with rounded mouthfeel backed by fine-grained tannins, leading to a lingering silky finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2023

An elegantly structured Pinot Noir displaying bright bramble fruit, crushed dried herbs and rich earthy notes on the nose. On the palate concentrated flavours of bright cherry and plum are supported by finely integrated smoky French oak. Balanced with soft and silky tannins, this delightfully enticing wine leads to a long, lingering finish.

The grapes for this wine were sourced from Marlborough’s southern Awatere Valley. Placed under the shadow of Mount Tapuae-o-Uenuku, the Awatere is on average much cooler, drier and windier than other sub-regions in Marlborough - resulting in a longer growing season and intense flavour development in the fruit.

The 2021/2022 growing season started with a warm spring and early summer providing excellent flowering and fruit-set conditions. Warm and dry conditions experienced over January quickly advanced the ripeness of the large crops, however unusually cool and wet weather in February slowed ripening considerably. Clear but cool conditions prevailed in the Awatere Valley from late February through to the end of March, allowing the fruit to gain concentrated fruit flavours without succumbing to disease pressure in time for the harvest which began on 28th March 2022.

Hand-harvested grapes were gently destemmed and gravity fed into small open top vessels, which were then chilled for 5 to 7 days before being warmed for fermentation. The majority of the wine went through a fast, warm ‘wild’ ferment, with a smaller portion inoculated with yeast cultured specifically for Pinot Noir. After fermentation the wine was pressed directly into French oak barriques and allowed to age in our dedicated Pinot Noir barrel cellar for the winter months. Once the temperatures started to warm again in spring the wine naturally underwent secondary malolactic fermentation, after which rigorous classification and blending decisions were made before being bottled in early May 2023.

Great Book!
Format: Hardcover
We bought this book a year ago for our then almost three-year-old. He loves it. As does his older sister (8), and brother (6) and his younger brother (almost 2). It has held up amazingly well considering the amount or use and abuse it gets. I love that it tells actual names and functions. More than once we've seen a machine while driving around town, then come home and looked it up. Well worth the money.

This book came in time for my grandson's birthday. It is FANTASTIC! It is large, colorful and has gatefold pages (which I didn't realize). He loves it and we love reading it to him.

A very nice book! Classic Umezu
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Might have a small crease or two but feels great to hold and the spine art was a pleasant surprise! And for being from the 60s, the illustrations have a crisp quality. Volume 1 ends on a Part 1 so you’ll have to wait until this December for Volume 2 if you want to finish the last story. In all, I am happy with this book.

Great Read!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Another Kazuo Umezz classic! Couldn't put in down. Pretty graphic body horror considering the time this manga was originally published.
