"Fragrant, plush, perfumed and enticing bouquet. Aromas of sweet red cherry, red apple skin, rose and wild berries. Noticeable scents of vanilla and baking spices of oak, but not overdone - in fact - snug against the backdrop of fruit. An enticing complexity. On the palate - an immediate core of fruit with a silky texture; contrasting chalky textured tannins and medium+ acidity. Flavours of red berries and florals reflect the nose. An elegant, even, balanced and well made wine. Best drinking from 2021 through 2025+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2020

"The impressive 2018 vintage was hand-picked from vines planted on the Martinborough Terrace in 1993, matured for a year in French oak barriques and puncheons (15 per cent new), and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deep ruby, it is mouthfilling, complex and structured, with deep, ripe, berryish, spicy flavours, hints of liquorice and nuts, and a powerful finish. Full of personality, it should be at its best 2022+" Michael Cooper, Aug 2020

Deep red hue in the glass. Strikes me as more earth and spice led rather than upfront fruit, although there is plenty of darker cherry in the mix. I find the overall fruit, spice, earth, floral matrix very appealing, giving this wine an elevated level of complexity and sophistication, something I wouldn’t always note in a youthful wine. Very happy with the whole bunch component, it is present and supportive. Upon tasting one is greeted with a palate of considerable depth and dimension. I note a terrific density to the tannin grain, a plushness about the front and middle with considerable authority towards the finish with firmer tannins ensuring staying power. Plenty to taste and contemplate here. Great drinking upon release but will cellar for 10 plus years.

Ample winter and early spring rains made parts of the vineyard inaccessible for machinery in the early part of the growing season. Conditions changed to extreme dry with a mini drought and well above average temperatures into late October and November. Good even budburst followed by an excellent fruit set, combined with rapid shoot growth promised an excellent crop. Alas, the weather turned again! High and frequent rainfall combined with high temperatures created a nightmare scenario in the vineyard; Everything grew like crazy, and disease pressure was very high! The team worked like mad and made the best of a difficult season. Harvest in the end was two –three weeks ahead of normal. The 2018 Eclipse Vineyard Pinot Noir was sourced from Block one which was planted in 1993 with clones UCD5, 115, 114 & 667 and from Block 4 which planted in 1993 with clones UCD5, 13 and 10/5.

Fruit was hand sorted and majority destemmed with the intact berries gently tipped into 2 and 3 ton open topped fermenters. Around 2 ton of 10/5 was kept separate and fermented 100% whole cluster. Chilling was employed to delay the onset of fermentation in the destemmed portions whilst the whole cluster ferment simply sat with gas coverage until it started on its own, which in the end took nearly two weeks. All ferments were spontaneous. Destemmed portions gently plunged twice daily, whole cluster ferment was plunged with my feet a couple of times each day. Total maceration was between 20 and 30 days. Following pressing the wine was run off into a mixture of barriques and puncheons (around 15% new) for 12 months maturation. Blending and racking took place in May 2019. Bottled in September 2019. Unfined and unfiltered. No animal products used.

My go-to shorts this summer
Size: 30, Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
These are easily my favorite shorts this summer. The fit is super flattering and they have that classic Levi’s look that never goes out of style. The denim feels high quality and holds its shape without stretching out too much during the day. They’re comfortable once you break them in, and they pair well with pretty much anything. I also like that they’re not too short or too long—just the right length for everyday wear. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a staple pair of denim shorts!

Favorite Summer Shorts worn on repeat
Size: 31, Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
These are my favorite shorts for summer. I have several pairs that I wear on repeat because they’re comfortable, flattering, and hold up really well. I ordered a size up from what I already have since I’m postpartum, but I ended up not needing it—my original size still fits me best. So I did return these, but only because of sizing, not the product itself. I do suggest sizing up 1 size from your normal size. I usually wear a 29 and have these in a size 30 and they fit great. They are a true jean material and not strechy. Highly recommend these if you’re looking for a reliable, go-to pair of denim shorts.

Cute - SIZE UP
Size: 33, Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
these are super cute and look very flattering but they run SMALL. I used to wear 32s in Levi’s but lost 30 pounds this year so I ordered a size down and they didn’t fit at ALL. I reordered a size 33 and they still fit tighter. My Levi jeans in a 32 barely stay on me anymore but these are snug in a 33. They’re still super cute and comfy, guess it gives me room to size down into them for awhile lol

Size: 30, Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
Wow! I got these for$20! They fit just like the 501 pants to me. . The only thing I'd change is s little less fraying on the front but other than that these are a broken in lived in look for $20!
