Interesting winery out of New Zealand with the managing director from there as well. very soft spoken.. not the brash type I have come to new from there..they have gone around NZ and found varietals that are not traditional or popular and worked them into a series of wines
2009 Riverbrook Vineyard Riesling.. very old world in style.. lots of diesel and minerality... seemingly sweet needs food
2010 Kerner Estate Pinot Blanc lots of texture and maybe the glass was still reeking from the Riesling but there was the diese..l touch again.. round mouthfeel
2010 Twin Valleys Vineyard Savagnin Rose a member of the Gewurztraminer family? that gave an interesting yeasty nose, slightly vegetal.. viscous like a gewurz.. still trying to decide if I liked it
2009 Cowley Family Pinot Noir light brickish color.. lots of tannin, texture to it.. light on fruit with some dried cranberry coming through.. a touch of meatiness on the end
2010 Earth Smoke Pinot Noir from clay and limestone soil. earthy notes with a little mushroom.. light weight on body but finished long
2008 Rose Vineyard late harvest riesling.. wow talk about smelling old world.. this tons of petrol and honeysuckle I am still tasting an hour after trying.. not overly viscous.. would work well with blue cheese
These are not styles of wines I am attracted to but I know that if I only sold wines I like we wouldnt be here..and no matter what other wine merchants may say there is no wrong profile
