This vintage of proprietor Sam Neill's four-vineyard barrel blend of Pinot is made for the long haul. Densely packed aromas of mushroom, tree bark, blood plum, currants and oodles of earthy spice lead to a sumptuous palate wound in taut, textural tannins. Quite austere at the moment, this is a wine to squirrel away for now, then watch it sparkle. Drink 2025-2035.

Features fresh raspberry, cranberry and dried cherry flavors that are juicy, focused and intense, with pretty details of sage, white pepper and matcha on the supple frame. On the finish, the tannins firm up in an appealing way. Drink now through 2030. 2,000 cases made, 88 cases imported.

The 2021 Pinot Noir leads with strawberries and flowers, cherry and a hint of pastrami. Ditto for the palate. This is not as complex as some of the single-vineyard wines, but it is pleasurable, balanced and red-fruited. It's good, and there's plenty to enjoy here. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
