Tarras

A single vineyard Pinot Noir hand picked from The Canyon Vineyard, vinified separately and aged in French barrels (30% new). The bouquet is lifted with aromas of cherries and plums. The palate is complex, rich and poised with layers of dark berryfruit mixed with savoury, earthy, spicy flavours and fine tannin integration.

“This is just a lovely Pinot with real purity and focus”
94/100 – Wine Anorak, Jamie Goode, SITT Tasting, London February 2009.
This was Jamie’s single highest score given at The SITT Tasting 2009.

“The 2007 vintage is mouthfilling, dense and `brooding`, with rich, savoury, complex flavours, cherryish, nutty and spicy. A powerful wine, built to last, it’s well worth discovering”.
5 Stars – Michael Cooper’s Wine Guide 2009.

“A sturdy wine showing ripe blackberry. spice and subtle herb characters with a concentrated palate”
Gold Medal – Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2008.

“Distiguished with cellaring potential”.
5 Stars – The Listener – Sneak Preview Tasting, Michael Cooper. August 2008
