At its best: now to 2022."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            4-STARS | YVONNE LORKIN, WINE WRITER - YVONNELORKIN.COM                                                                                   "Made by Cam Duke, local-yet-internationally-experienced-rosé-o-rama-obsessive winemaker, this gets the Yvonne Lorkin award for best wine bottle featuring seahorses, butterflies, frogs, cherries, pomegranate, bees, birds and even Nemo. Crafted from predominantly merlot, it's a stonefruit and citrus fest edged with a dusting of white pepper. Taut, punchy and refreshing, this is a case of the wine tasting as good as the bottle is pretty."

The 2020 vintage (4*) was made principally from Hawke’s Bay Merlot. Pink hued, it is a characterful wine, full-bodied, with good concentration of fresh strawberry, watermelon and spice flavours, and a dry finish."
