Nga Waka Sauvignon Blanc -2000 (WE-9196)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From a region better known for Burgundian varieties, this Sauvignon Blanc has turned out well. Passion fruit, peaches and gooseberries flow across the palate, which features a bit of creaminess. A hint of capsicum (green pepper) intensifies on the finish. 1 Note

Te Kairanga Chardonnay -2006 (WE-74352)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Pretty standard in terms of flavor profile, but well-executed, marrying toasty, pain grille aromas with flavors of vanilla, ripe pears and melon. Medium- to full-bodied, it finishes with a flourish of oak and spice. 1 Note

Te Kairanga Chardonnay -2004 (WE-66274)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Standard Chardonnay, done well, TK’s 2004 boasts scents of buttered toast, yellow plums and ground clove, then shows a leaner, more citrusy character on the palate. Crisp on the finish. 1 Note

Te Kairanga Pinot Noir -2004 (WE-66277)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A bit light compared to the 2005 offerings, but supple and round, with flavors of cherries, rhubarb and some leafy, herbal complexity. Drink now. 1 Note

Te Kairanga Riesling -2008 (WE-121040)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This wine appears to be at its peak, showing some developed notes of kerosene to go with apple and citrus flavors. It’s medium-bodied (12% abv) and just barely off dry (7.8 g/l). Enticing notes of Earl Grey grace the nose, while the finish is long, crisp and refreshing. 1 Note

Te Kairanga Pinot Noir -2008 (WE-110816)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A super value in Pinot Noir, just so long as you don’t expect a bright, berry-scented wine. This is a dark, mysteriously earthy and herbal Pinot, with savory, spicy elements backed by dark fruit and a long, dusty finish. Drink it now and over the next few years. 1 Note

Kumeu River Chardonnay -2008 (WE-120676)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Kumeu’s entry-level Chardonnay shows less concentrated fruit and less oak influence than its big siblings, but nonetheless displays ample pineapple and pear fruit in a full-bodied format. The oak is barely noticeable, making the wine straightforward and easy to drink. 1 Note

Martinborough Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc -2009 (WE-116971)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc features some nice lime and grapefruit flavors, but it turns tart, chalky and almost metallic on the finish. It’s certainly zesty, but it clangs off the rim instead of swooshing straight on through. 1 Note

Martinborough Vineyard Pinot Noir -2009 (WE-114816)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

The 2009 vintage is shaping up to be a good one for Martinborough Pinot Noir, and this bottling is nicely priced for the quality. It’s herbal, spicy, floral and savory all at once on the nose, then delivers soft waves of dark cherries on the palate. Drink now–2016. 1 Note

Palliser Estate Pinot Noir -2001 (WE-27859)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Pencarrow is Palliser’s second label, which helps explain this wine’s lack of body; presumably the richer lots went into the Palliser Estate bottling (not yet tasted). That said, it offers pretty cherry and herb flavors and a lingering finish. 1 Note
