"Offering lovely fruit purity, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, violet, almond and subtle spice notes on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate that's elegant and persistent. It's beautifully proportioned with fine texture and silky tannins, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Vibrant dark ruby appearance with a youthful pink hued rim. Aromas of  ripe red berries and purple fruits, plums and dark raspberry. Other aromas include baking spices, clove and vanilla with a sweet oak note. Overall, fruity, fleshy, varietal an inviting. On the palate - very youthful with lots of tension from the tannins, acidity and energy. Chalky tannins, medium+ acidity, plenty of raspberry, plum and cherry flavours then brown spices and toasty oak. Young, well made, fleshy and fruity core, nice structure and length. Can drink from today, but nest from mid 2021 and through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Bright, youthful, light ruby-red colour with some depth. The nose is full with intensity and presence of black cherries, savoury kalamata olives, entwined with a rich herbal note of thyme, unfolding subtle coffee and toasted nut nuances. Medium-light bodied, the palate has good concentration of fruit, black cherries, red berries and underlying savoury kalamata olives. The acidity is fresh with a softness, hauling aromas of thyme and integrated notes of coffee and toasted nuts to a sustained finish. The mouthfeel is weaved by satiny tannin extraction and a soft phenolic grip. This is an appealing Pinot Noir with nuances of red fruit, savoury olives, and herbs with integrated notes of coffee and toasted nuts, supported by satiny tannin structure. Aged for 9 months in 50% stainless steel tanks and 50% seasoned French oak barriques" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jun 2020

"Smooth-textured pinot noir with plum, berry, shoe box, wood-smoke and spicy oak flavours, with a hint of fresh herb characters. An attractive and accessible wine offering very good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"Offering fine value, the 2019 vintage is a single-vineyard red, grown in the Southern Valleys. Half of the blend was matured for 10 months in French oak barriques. Full-coloured, it is mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity, with fresh acidity, strong, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, and savoury notes adding complexity. Still very youthful, it’s well worth cellaring to 2022+" Michael Cooper

Ruby red colour in the glass. Aromas of fresh red berries, dried thyme and black olive. A rich and fruity full bodied palate with raspberries, black plum and integrated notes of coffee bean. A fine tanin structure with a long and toasty finish. The 2019 Delta Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully from release and will continue to mature over the next five years.

"Sweetly fruited and seductively complex, the wine shows spiced cherry, dark plum, cured meat and olive characters on the nose. It's equally attractive on the palate, offering lovely weight and rounded mouthfeel, wonderfully complemented by silken texture and polished tannins, finishing long and delightfully savoury. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2020

"Bright, light ruby-red with some depth, lighter on edge. The bouquet is fragranced with depth, exhibiting fresh red berries, red cherries, an amalgam of spices lifted with floral, along with savoury earth and gamey notes. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh with well-defined layers of aromas, red berries and cherries with a deep fragranced floral scent; along with aromatic oak spices underlying earth and gamey notes. The mouthfeel is soft and delicate; lacy acidity interweaved with a fine line of grainy tannin extraction, leaves a silky sustained finish. This is a pretty, delicate Pinot Noir with flavours of red fruit and floral complexity, along with spices, earthy and gamey elements flow with silky tannin and lacy acidity. Match with crispy duck and gamefowl over the next 4-5 years. Fruit from Wairau Valley, 115 Dijon clone, 10% whole bunches, fermented to 13.5% alc. Aged in Frech oak barriques for 10 months, 30% new" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jun 2020

"Light and quite savoury Pinot Noir with red cherry, toast, dried herb, grape stems and smoky oak flavours. Delicate sweet fruit is balanced by fine and slightly stemmy tannins to give a dry finish" Bob Campbel, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2019

"The 2018 vintage (4.5*) was matured for 10 months in old French oak barriques.  Fragrant and supple, it is ruby hued,  sweet-fruited and savoury, with youthful cherry, plum, spice and nut flavours, showing good concentration and complexity. Best drinking 2021+" Michael Cooper

"Tart edged with cranberry, cherry and metallic/mineral edging" Joe Wadsack, Panel Chair and Tim Atkin, Master of Wine, Co-Chair, International Wine Challenge 2020

"Really nice bouquet of Pinot Noir with an immediate sense of pinosity from fruit then spice then soil. Aromas of red berries and roses, plum and light brown baking spice and stony, dry stone mineral layer. Harmonious and inviting. On the palate - youthful, fresh, varietal and tense with chalk-dust textures of tannin, medium+ acidity and fruit flavours that reflect the nose. Youthful still, nice weight and tension, balanced and well made. Drink now and through 2023" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Garnet red colour in the glass. Ripe red fruits, with a hint of toast and cedar. A full bodied, ripe and round palate, showing juicy red currants, red cherry and dried spicy fruits. A silky structure with toasted oak on the finish. Drinking beautifully from release and will continue to mature over the next ten years.

Food Pairing: Excellently paired with roasted duck and rich lamb dishes.

Awarded 4 Stars: Michael Cooper's Buyers Guide

"Beautifully ripe and gorgeously fragrant, the wine shows blackcurrant, dark plum, violet, thyme and hazelnut aromas on the nose with a hint of dried herbs. It's succulent and supple on the palate, delivering lovely fruit purity and mid-palate weight, wonderfully structured by chalky tannins" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Offering good value, the 2019 vintage (4*) was matured for nine months in seasoned French oak. Deeply coloured, it is mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity, with very good density of ripe, plummy, spicy flavour.
