Starts off with modest passion fruit and grapefruit scents that deepen on the palate into stone fruit flavors. Finishes on a tangy note, with lemons and unripe peaches vying for the lead.

Solid NZ Pinot, with full, ripe fruit that’s partially obscured by heavy chocolate and coffee-scented oak. There are cola and plum flavors on the modest finish.

Herbs and pie cherries form the base flavors for this modestly priced reserve bottling. Full-bodied, with soft tannins, yet turns crisp and tangy on the finish. Imported by Low Country Imports.

Ripe melon and passion fruit aromas and flavors blend in hints of green pepper—just enough to give it complexity without becoming objectionable. Turns a bit narrow and grapefruity on the moderately long finish. Best Buy.

Lighter than most Marlborough 2005 Pinot Noirs, but this still packs plenty of flavor. It’s a snappy, fresh Pinot with slightly peppery notes that call to mind pepper-dusted cherries. Finishes crisp and clean.

This consistent value performer is made specially for the U.S. importer by a winery whose “name” wine is imported by someone else. Too confusing? Try this: Winery A makes wine under the Winery A label and sells it for a premium price through Importer A. Then, since it has additional wine, it bottles more under Label B and sells that through Importer B. (No, I’m not going to spill the grapes and tell you the name of the winery in question.) A slightly musky scent imparts an exotic note to the passion fruit aromas, while the grapefruity notes on the palate are pleasantly plump before turning a bit chalky on the finish.

Light in color and already showing some disturbing bricking at the rim, this Pinot is rather light-bodied, with dusty, earthy scents and flavors of cherries, herbs and crushed pepper. Finishes with crisp acidity. Imported by Low Country Imports.

Grassy notes are nicely balanced by stone fruit and melon in this medium-weight wine that offers good length. A grapefruity tang on the finish gives it a refreshing feel.

Said to be from the oldest commercial vines in New Zealand, this shows lovely aromatics of sour cherries, sous bois and black pepper, but while the palate is lush and soft, it lacks the same appeal and complexity. Finishes with notes of coffee and burnt caramel. Drink now.
