"Mellow perfumes of peach and apple combine for a seductive intro. The palate adds a soft but spicy zestiness that makes the fruit flavors sing … huge charm and balance, backed by structure and firmness. ...The finish is dry and full of apple notes."

"... the family's first estate Merlot under this name … Concentrated and showing integrated oak, it reveals cedar and dried herb around subtle fruit components of plum and cassis. It finishes soft and balanced in a flurry of cocoa.”

“Radda in Chianti. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Leafy cherry and minerals on the nose. Lots of depth and yet not heavy at all. Finely tuned. Elegant grainy tannins. Lots of potential.”

"Choosing favorites among Kumeu River’s Chardonnays is always difficult. The 2013 Maté’s is potentially the longest lived of this year’s releases, showcasing tight, crisp citrus fruit garnished with hints of butter, tropical fruit and mocha-like..."

“Like the other 2013 Chardonnays from Kumeu River, this boasts crisp acids. Melon and lime notes dominate at first, slowly being overtaken by zesty pineapple fruit on the finish.”

Wine Enthusiast

“This shows a touch less oak than the Maté’s Vineyard, with more emphasis on pineapple and citrus. It’s medium-bodied, with a slightly custardy texture, and turns tangy and crisp on the finish.”

Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough – 2014
Wine Enthusiast

“Snow pea is a descriptor often attached to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a wine that captures it as precisely as this one does. Zesty citrus notes fill out the wine’s medium body and linger on the finish.”

Wine Enthusiast

“From one of the producer’s coolest sites, this wine has a nose of wet gravel and lime peel, enveloped in oaky caramel and toast with Meyer lemon jam. A mouthwatering structure of spicy acidity underlies it all.”

“An opulent nose surges from the bottle in this lush, exuberant wine from the legendary vineyard site. Pronounced flavors of baked apple, caramel, honey and peach combine in memorable, full-bodied ways. Textured and layered …”

“A lighthearted, refined and distinctive wine made from vineyards including Ritchie and Banfield, this white gets less time in oak than the single-vineyard designates, but sings in waxy apple, lemon, nutmeg and brioche. This is a pretty wine …”

Decanter

"A blend of grapes from six different sites, this is made by one of the country's best Chardonnay producers. It has lovely concentration with peach and honey characters. Ripe and rich with well-integrated fine oak and pristine acidity."

"An impressive, evolved nose with hints of mushroom and bonfire. Elegant, with plenty of life … showing tertiary characters, such as truffle, yet balanced by a crisp acidity; it lingers delicately."

Decanter

“… It has a huge, intense nose of lime, pears and apricot with aromatic tension and complexity. A fine, assertive and extremely youthful attack: concentrated yet racy and very mineral from start to finish. A racehorse of a wine with amazing length…”

“Orchard fruit, white flowers and mint open up, but only with great reluctance. The most reticent of these 2013 Chardonnays … hints of slate, smoke, dried herbs and flowers hint at the wine's considerable potential.”

“A dramatic, large-scaled wine, the 2013 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard is the most unctuous, powerful Chardonnay in this lineup. A host of apricot jam, orange blossom, mint, honey and smoke meld together as this richly textured Chardonnay shows …”
