95 POINTS: Bob Campbell MW 5 STARS: Michael Cooper
"Seresin’s flagship pinot noir has the intensity and silkiness to back up its exalted status. A high-energy wine with floral, red fruits, spice and dried herb flavours, it can be appreciated now but has the power and harmony to develop further." – Bob Campbell MW
"Certified organic, this Omaka Valley red is 'the purest expression of pinot noir we can make.'. Matured for 18 months in French oak barriques and puncheons, it is ruby hued, with an inviting fragrance. Mouthfilling, it has ripe cherry, plum, spice and nut flavours, showing excellent depth, complexity, balance and structure." – Michael Cooper
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
