92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Like many of Te Mata's 2020 reds, this young pup needs a little time to open if drinking now. Once it does, there're elegant aromas of cherry and blueberry fruit, violets and roses, ground black pepper, cloves and a slight meatiness in a well-tucked bed of mocha oak. Tangy red fruit on the silky palate is tightly wound by fine tannins and lifted by a crunch of acidity. A unique Pinot that bears the Te Mata stamp of place, polish, freshness and structure. (CP)" (09/2022)

90 points Vinous: "Flavorsome and tender, the 2021 Pinot Noir A2 is an immediately appealing wine with just the right amount of flesh counterbalanced by a corset of acidity that sticks around until a satisfying, bright finish. The aromatics have a distinctive herbal edge that might remind you of fennel and wormwood or woody green herbs. Its herbal personality follows through in its flavors and is joined by cherry cola and earthy notes. The fine-grained tannins are fully integrated and combined with the fresh acidity to give a lightly structured and fragr...

Giesen's "Zero" Sauvignon Blanc is a unique wine from New Zealand's Marlborough region.

It's elegant and fine and still powerful, thanks to the Bannockburn area; however, the wine itself shows rose petals and spring flowers, graphite and pencil lead, white pepper and tapenade. Svelte and sleek, this is composed and detailed and so, so good. I am (mostly) resisting hyperbole and adverbs here.
