A bit on the simple side, but lively, fresh and ultimately satisfying. Impressively pure black cherry fruit does pick up a hint of spice on the finish. A nice introduction to NZ Pinot that should drink well from now through 2010. Imported by Smart Imports Inc. 1 Note

Hay, mint and grass add a green touch to the nose, which also features nectarine. Citrus, but nothing really defined, dominates the flavor profile. More citrus and zippy acids run wild on the finish. It doesn’t offer any one thing for you to hang your hat on. 1 Note

This round, mouthfilling Riesling is on the fullish side, but still retains a sense of focus thanks to steely-minerally notes that balance the softer honey and lime flavors. Imported by Meadowbank Estates. 1 Note

Starts out soft, with warm peach and nectarine notes that turn leaner and more citric on the finish, even folding in a touch of green pepper. 1 Note

One of the less exensive bottlings from the tiny region of Martinborough, Te Kairanga’s regular bottling represents a solid value. The sappy plum and black cherry flavors carry mushroomy, savory undertones characteristic of the region, finishing snappy and fresh, with good persistence. Tasty now, but should last a few years, too. 1 Note

A whole mélange of sautéed tropical fruits jump out at you, accented by hints of vanilla oak. The finish is long and citrusy, reminiscent of carambola (star fruit). 1 Note

It's the rare NZ Riesling we see in this country that's from Martinborough, but Nga Waka's 2001 makes a strong case for the continued production of Riesling in an area that's better known for Burgundian varieties. Floral on the nose, with bright citrusy fruit on the palate and almost ephemerally light, this is an ideal aperitif wine. 1 Note

Intense stuff; hits on the nose like a bomb packed with fresh green veggies and vibrant passion fruit, mango and stone fruits. Slides across the palate with ease courtesy of prime acidity. Tastes much like it smells, with jolting flavors of gooseberry, pineapple and orange. Imported by Kobrand. 1 Note
