"Rippon, the western board of Roy’s Bay, Lake Wanaka. Rippon’s north-facing escarpment forms the meeting point of terminal moraines and coarse gravels; all based in schist. Rippon, a wine issued from all of the fully developed Pinot Noir vines, is considered the farm voice of this distinct parcel of land." - Winemaker Notes
"Complex with hint of smoky, savoury with wild mushroom, earthy and floral nuances. Small black fruits and rosehip. Good depth and density. Some oxidative notes? A bit edgier but also more accessible, good purity and a compact core of dense fruit. Very fine tannins build towards the back before becoming quite grainy. Savoury in style. Some brooding notes. Ethereal, chimeric." - 94 points, Stephen Wong
