96 points James Suckling: "A great vintage from the masterful Kevin Judd. The complexity and deeply integrated and layered character will impress. The lime-curd, lemon-pith, peach and subtle, creamy pastry flavors are all perfectly preserved. Texturally rich, flavorsome and fresh. Drink now. Screw cap." (01/2019) 94 points Vinous: "The 2014 Chardonnay has a well-defined bouquet with scents of passion fruit, beeswax, orange rind and a hint of fresh mushroom. I love the definition and focus here. The poised, refreshing palate is very well balanced, with ...
96 points James Suckling: "A sense of depth of fruit with astute winemaking here. Deeply ripe red and black cherries sit amid violets and fresh, lightly earthy notes. The palate has bright, lithe and juicy red cherries with some forest-floor, woody and leafy notes. Fine but sturdy tannins and a subtly spicy finish. Super length. Drink or hold. Screw cap. *#16 Top 100 New Zealand Wines 2018*" (10/2018) 96 points Sam Kim: "The wine shows a great degree of elegance as well as complexity and intensity; the seductively expressed bouquet shows spiced cherry,...
According to winemaker Theo Coles: "It all began in 2002 when I stumbled across an etching of a large gnarly looking ram standing in a field during my travels. He was defiant, a little sauvage, had an old world charm and was very New Zealand. I bought him, had him framed and hung him up in my lounge. 10 years later I happened across Gareth Renowden, the owner of the Limestone Hills vineyard in the Waipara Gorge. Along with a truffiere he had 1000 Pinot Noir vines planted on beautiful active limestone soil. He wanted help to make some wine, after a walk ...

95 points Sam Kim: "The wine shows an elegant sense of restraint; offering white flesh nectarine, fig, lemon peel and oatmeal characters on the nose, leading to a finely textured palate that's focused and persistent. It's pristine and poised with youthful fruit flavours and discreet oak nuances, finishing impressively long and refined. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2026." (12/2019) 94 points Bob Campbell: "Perfectly-pitched chardonnay with moderately concentrated and accessible flavours and a nice mix of citrus, white peach, nutty yeast lees, ...
93 points James Suckling: "A ripe array of yellow peaches with a salient, nutty edge that follows to the palate. Praline and almond-brittle flavors build around a gently creamy core of spiced peaches. Holds nice and long. Drink now." (10/2018) K&L Notes: New Zealand is producing exceptional Chardonnays grown in every major wine region across the country. From Auckland to Central Otago, these wines express the unique places in which they are grown, and are every bit as good as the top Chardonnays across the world. On the South Island, in the heart of Ce...

97 points James Suckling: "A very slick and polished edition of this wine that promises to develop steadily for a couple of decades. This will play the long game well. For now it has superb fresh fruit in the blackberry and red plum spectrum that is dusted with peppery aromas as well as spicy mocha-scented oak and hints of graphite-like dark stone. The palate runs a deep line of flavors, and tannins draw long with a sense of purpose and depth, carrying dark plum, mocha and blackberry flavors fresh into a succulent, lithe and juicy finish. A meticulously ...
93 points James Suckling: "Some rich melon, peach and spiced-biscuit aromas leading to a palate that has a very smooth, deeply weighted core of fresh stone-fruit and melon flavors. Lightly toasty finish." (10/2018) 93 points Raymond Chan: "Full, light golden-yellow colour with some depth and slight green hues, paler edged. The nose is full with harmoniously layered aromas of yellow stonefruits entwined with subtle creamy barrel-ferment and nutty oak notes, with some complexing oxidative detail. This has freshness, substance and balance. Medium-bodied, ...
90 points James Suckling: "Some earthy and sultry style to the nose with dried red cherries, leading to a smooth,even and measured palate. Drink now." (10/2018) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is on the lighter end of the Pinot spectrum. There's quite a bit of cinnamon and stalky characters here, but notes of strawberry and rhubarb are bright as well. Violet and white pepper notes add to the mix. The stalkiness continues on the palate, which is wispy and delicate, showing less in the way of oak and more in the way of crisp fruit and dried leaves. (CP)...
