"Complex and concentrated bouquet of plums and vanilla, blackberry fruits and clove, fresh leather, smoky oak and violets. There’s compote quality, a freshness and power. The softer merlot textures touch the palate first with cacao and chocolate, plums and spices that follow. The cabernet delivers power and back bone, , blackberry and baked bell-pepper, some tobacco and more violets. Delicious and new, complex and dry, lengthy and well made. Best drinking from 2025 through 2034+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2023

"I really like the flower and red fruits here that flow across the palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a reserved finish. Very classy. Drink or hold" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Mar 2023

"From estate-grown vines over 30 years old, the 2020 vintage of this Waipara Valley, North Canterbury red is a Merlot-based blend, with smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It was matured for 18 months in French oak barriques (15 per cent new). Deeply coloured, it is full-bodied and rich, with generous, vibrant plum, blackcurrant and spice flavours, supple tannins and a wellrounded finish" Michael Cooper, Sep 2023

On release it has a deep crimson tint. A sensuous amalgam of dark fruit, wood smoke and spice rise temptingly from the glass. Impressions of bramble, cherry and plum first on attack, followed by a flotilla of roasted red pepper, aniseed, tobacco leaf, leather, and mint. The mouthfeel is impressively concentrated, with confident tannins and radiant acidity weaving across a wide, succulent palate. Brawny and classically structured, the voyage ends with a sustained and spice laden finish. While ready to drink now, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.

The vineyard is located within the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, on free draining, north facing terraces. It benefits from being in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, giving maximum protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes and thus creating a unique mesoclimate. The vines are over 30 years old, with a large proportion planted on their own roots. They are located on the “Glasnevin Gravels” where greywacke stones, silt and loam have been washed down from the mountains over the millennia. The soil is of low fertility, resulting in naturally reduced vine vigour. This produces low yields of optimally ripened, high quality, flavourful grapes, which fully express the qualities of this unique terroir. The vineyard has warm days, but the nights are amongst the coolest in the Waipara Valley, drawing out the ripening period of the grapes, while still retaining good natural acidity.

Settled weather over flowering provided a healthy fruit set, which was then thinned back to desired levels. The ensuing summer was dry with very little rain, resulting in perfectly ripened small berries full of intense flavour and concentration. Thankfully, our harvest was able to proceed during the C-19 lockdown, and an unbroken autumn full of warm days meant the fruit was picked at its optimum ripeness.

This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux, using traditional methods. After being picked during mid-April, the grapes began fermentation naturally in stainless steel tanks. During this process the juice was regularly pumped over the cap of floating grape skins (rather than plunging), to ensure a perfect tannin balance was extracted from the fruit. The wine was then gently pressed off and put into French oak barriques (15% new). The following summer, when the weather warmed, it underwent a natural malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. After maturing in oak for 18mths, the various batches were then carefully blended in varying portions to produce the most complex and balanced wine possible. The finished product is predominately Merlot, with the remainder comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, and a small amount of Cabernet Franc.

An Absolute NEED In My Skincare Routine!!
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct), Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
These are an absolute need in my skincare routine! I use them to remove oil-based and water-based cleansers and to remove masks. And I use them to dry my face and then to dry my hands in between products. They are very good quality and very soft. They are also thick and very durable. They have a smoother side and a textured side for very gentle exfoliation. I notice my face is more clear from using these as opposed to my microfiber washcloths. They’re fragrance-free and don’t really have a scent, maybe a very light, practically unnoticeable, bamboo scent. I think it’s a very good deal to get 50 XL disposable face towels for $17. I was using these for months and then didn’t use them for a few months and yeah huge difference in my skin, which is why I bought them again and will continue to. It’s also great not having to wash them lol! I also love the new magnetic lid closure and the new design of the box, you can now have your face towels fully covered and sealed without having to buy a separate box with lid to put them in. Although their prism holographic box is so cute and pretty, and their prism box is $20 cheaper on Amazon!

Great quality face cloths with a soft exfoliating texture to them.
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
Absolutely love these towels. So nice to have a clean towel every time you wash your face. They are the perfect texture for lightly exfoliating. These are just dry towels so you can use your own face wash with them. They are very durable. I tried ripping one in half once and was unable to. They are quite large and I have found that I can have twice as many by cutting them in half. They are still a great size after cutting them. I can definitely see why they are so highly rated. I definitely wasn't holding my breath with high hopes but after using them I am pleasantly surprised! They are quite reasonably priced especially if you cut them in half and if you subscribe to them for additional savings. Very surprised how much I love them!

SOOOO GOOD
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
I finally caved and bought these. I wish I would have hoped on this trend when it was first talked about in the skincare community because they are SO good, soft but also exfoliating, no scent, perfect for your face or anything else you want to clean. I did get the XL size without noticing but I’ll be buying these regularly. It makes doing my skincare at night so much easier.

💙 The Secret to a Cleaner Face & Clearer Skin
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct), Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
“I’ve been using these Clean Skin Club Clean Towels and I really like them! They’re soft, durable, and feel much cleaner than using the same face towel repeatedly. They’re gentle on my skin, don’t cause irritation, and are great for drying my face after washing. I also love that they’re disposable and help keep bacteria away from my skincare routine. Definitely a great addition for anyone with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Highly recommend! 💙🧴”
