94/100 55

The wine of actor Sam Neill’s two vineyards near Alexandra (he has a third vineyard in Gibbston). Intensely fruity Pinot Noir with dense black cherry, floral, farmyard and ripe plum flavours plus a seasoning of dried herbs. Rich and silken wine with a long finish and a firm tannic backbone that hints at cellaring potential.

Tasted: May 2004   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $38 (~USD $32)
