2008 Johner Estate Cabernet Malbec Merlot

2011-03-19T02:41:10Z

87 points - Beautiful dark red. Sweet, but with a bit of oak, and perhaps a little too much stalky, woody flavours. Might respond to time.

2010 Johner Estate Gladstone Riesling

2010-11-13T07:45:40Z

87 points - Pale yellow, lovely peachy aromas. In the mouth quite soft, and just on the dry side of medium. Quite nice, but just a little too sweet and lacking in an acidity that would balance it up and give some interest at the end.

2009 Johner Estate Wairarapa Pinot Gris

2009-11-06T08:08:30Z

85 points - Pale yellow, off dry, reasonably crisp and pleasant but an otherwise nondescript drop with some varietal characteristics.

2008 Johner Estate Gladstone Pinot Noir

88 points - A very approachable Pinot. Though I'm finding it hard to come up with any distinguishing features it really does slip down pretty nicely.

90 points - Pale yellow, immediate pineapples on the nose. Medium-dry in style but still reasonably crisp with a nice citrusy finish. Very good value.
