Reviews:
"Babich made history by winning the first gold medal for a New Zealand Pinot Noir back in the early 1980s.  The devotion to quality continues with this taut, focused wine, brimming with red-berry fruit."

-Cuisine Magazine, October 2009 issue

"Ruby-hued, mouthfilling and supple, with cherryish, spicy, moderately complex flavours, showing very good depth."
-Michael Cooper's Wine Buyer's guide to New Zealand Wines 2010

"A beautifully perfumed nose displaying dark plum, cherry and savoury mushroom characters with a touch of cedary oak notes. It's ripe and well fruited on the palate showing lovely silky texture, a rounded mouthfeel and fine tannins. A very appealing Pinot with a nice seasoning of savoury flavours."
