94/100 55

Ex Cloudy Bay viticulturist Ian Sutherland, and winemaker, James Healy have failed to produce anything but top wines from every vintage. Made from grapes grown on a hillside vineyard the wine has seductive gobs of plum and cherry flavours with an underlying suggestion of truffle. Concentrated Pinot Noir with a wonderfully silken texture.
