A medium-bodied Merlot with solid plum and mocha varietal characteristics, the 2007 CJ Pask Declaration is a firm, slightly crisp wine, with background notes of clove and cinnamon.

Herbal and short, this Sauvignon Blanc comes from a producer better known for its red wines. Sweet green pea and grapefruit aromas give way to citrusy flavors.

Roy’s Hill is this respected winery’s second label, offering lighter, less concentrated versions of the Pask wines. Coffee and chocolate accents mark this wine’s smooth cherry fruit. Drink now.

Impressively dark in color, but shows more wood than fruit from start to finish. Toasty and cedary on the nose, patially balanced by white pepper and modest cherry fruit. No known U.S. importer.

Full-bodied and soft in texture, this is a very accessible Chard, with peach and pineapple fruit framed by smoky, vanilla-scented oak. It’s lush and easy to drink—a great introduction to Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay.

Syrah is quickly gaining popularity in Hawke’s Bay and this is a good example why. Reminiscent of a Crozes-Hermitage, this wine’s meaty, peppery aromas and blackberry-boysenberry fruit aren’t overpowering, just nicely balanced and very drinkable over the near term.

C.J. Pask is a top Hawkes Bay winery that has struggled with various importers here in the States. From a top vintage, this lushly textured blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Malbec should start to give U.S. consumers something to notice. It is a little wood-dominated right now, but should come into better balance in the next couple of years, as the dried spices and cedar merge with the black cherry and cassis underneath. Drink 2008–2015.
