Nose – This wine is a classic California Pinot Noir—lots of nice dark-berry fruit, toasty oak along with the “earthiness” that is only seen in the best Pinot. Mouth – The mouth of this wine is a stunning example of what Pinot Noir can be—rich, complex, yet full of bright fruitiness and spice. The predominant characters follow the nose—dark bramble-berry fruit, along with some bright cherry notes, toasty oak and a good hit of classic Burgundian complexity. Over it all is a bright balance of cardamom spice. The tannins are in just a little drying, sort of like chewing on a marigold, and offset the fruit nicely.

90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Dark pink. Fresh, zesty nose offers pure strawberry and pomegranate aromas and hints of Asian spices. Then deep, rich and smoky on the palate, with a chewy texture to the ripe red berry and cherry flavors. Finishes with noteworthy length. This medium-bodied wine has the clarity and energy to work as an aperitif but is also rich enough to serve at the table." (Nov/Dec 06) According to Wine Enthusiast: "A full, creamy Champagne that has ripe fruits and dry but rich character that lends itself ideally to food, even to meat dishes. This is a wine with weight and some intense fruity power."

Stunningly aromatic nose of lime oil and zippy mineral with juicy flavors – a truly lively wine with nice density and a clean, crisp finish.

100% Sauvignon Blanc from the silty, riverbed vineyards in the Marlborough. Cairnbrae is Scottish for 'Rocky Hillside'. All stainless steel.

Wine Spectator This shows very good intensity to lime, dried clay and grass flavors. Salt and oyster shell undertones linger on the grapefruit finish. Drink now. Score: 87. —Daniel Sogg, November 15, 2008.

Jester is Mitolo’s ‘fun wine’; but this wine is a serious winner, with a jammy nose of black pepper, chocolate, and vivid black berries. Boasting a soft, velvety, almost sexy, mouthfeel, and balancing soft black fruits with a hint of chocolate and spice with vivacious acidity, the Jester Shiraz rolls off the tongue and soothingly into the stomach. A beautiful effort from Australia’s premier winemaker, Ben Glaetzer!

This 2005 Shiraz shows generous and concentrated fruit with its flavors of dense dark chocolate, licorice, and spice. 100% barrel fermented in new and 1 year old American oak and barrel matured for 12 months. It has silky, smooth tannins and shows creamy developed characters and is overwhelmingly, mouthfillingly delicious.

Appearance of crimson red with purple hues and a bouquet of pepper and spice with lifted plum fruit aromas. The palate is clean with a varietal character showing generous plum and underlying cassis/spice. Well integrated toasty oak and fine grained tannins.
