Eventide Syrah 2020, Waiheke Island Deep, full, r

Eventide Syrah 2020, Waiheke Island

Deep, full, ruby-black, lighter on edge. The nose is enticing and rich, with aromas of blackberries, plums melded with chocolate, lavender and black pepper. Medium-full bodied, ripe aromas of blackberries and plums show density, unveiling black pepper, lavender and chocolate, along with earthy minerals. The wine is mouth-filling with ripe fruit, enlivened by spice and integrated acidity. Velvety, ripe, fine-grained tannins provided a fine grip. This charming Syrah shows varietal, balanced ripeness and acidity on a chocolaty, velvety palate. Match with lamb shoulder and venison over the next 6-8 years. 14% alc. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) July 2022 RRP $56

Te Kano Pinot Noir 2020, Central Otago Ruby-red w

Te Kano Pinot Noir 2020, Central Otago

Ruby-red with depth, good transparency, and lighter on the rim. The nose is alluringly perfumed, led with aromas of lavender melded with cherries, black raspberries and cherry plums, cinnamon bark, mint, mushroom and forest floor. Medium-full bodied, concentrated on the palate, cherries and black raspberries interweave violet, lavender and cinnamon bark fragrances, unfolding savoury, mushroom, black pepper and forest floor. The wine is earthy and fragrant with well-proportioned, balanced, ripe fruit; savoury complexity and fragranced whole-bunch elements added interest. Fine-grained, velvety tannin and a fine grip carry texture and weight. This savoury Pinot Noir possesses enticing fruit and fragrance with elegance, concentration, power, and a long, sustained finish. Match this with herb-crusted lamb and venison ragu over the 7+ years. Fruit from Bannockburn and Northburn vineyards, handpicked, destemmed, fermented in open top fermenters to 14% alc, 10-28 days on skins. Parcels were fermented separately with varying percentages of whole bunches. Aged in French oak barrels for 11 months, 24% new oak. 19-/20 pts (95 pts) July 2022 RRP $49

The Landing Chardonnay 2020, Bay Of Islands Brigh

The Landing Chardonnay 2020, Bay Of Islands

Bright, even, pale straw-yellow with a green hue. This has a poised, elegant bouquet with aromas of melon, yellow apple, lemon curd, honeysuckle, unfolding nutty and dusty spice and minerals, along with a creamy note. Medium-bodied, aromas of lemon curd, yellow apple and melon entwined with honeysuckle, toasted hazelnut and delicate spice. The nutty oak elements and creaminess are well-proportioned. The mouthfeel is silky and fine-textured; a bright, lively acid line enlivens and leaves a piquant, long finish. This is a sleek Chardonnay with flavours of lemon curd, yellow apple and melon supported by a lively acid line with refined barrel details. Match with pan-fried turbot and pork over the next 5-7 years. Estate grown fruit handpicked, whole bunch pressed, fermented in French oak barriques with indigenous yeasts to 14% alc, aged 11 months in oak, then blended in tank to finish ageing. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) Aug 20222 RRP $48

Chateau Garage Cornerstone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Hawke's Bay

Deep, full ruby-red, lighter on the rim. This has an alluring, rich bouquet, greeted with cedar, spice, fragrant new oak, overlying cassis, plums, mint and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, succulent, pure aromas of cassis, plums intertwined with mint, tar, cedar, clove and nutmeg. The flavours of fruit are pure with excellent depth; integrated acidity lengthens the palate with mint and spice elements. Quality, fine-grained, chocolaty tannin provides a structured, velvety mouthfeel. The wine shows impressive structure and concentration and is built to last.
