TOSQ Pinot Noir Rosé 2014
Bob Campbell MW
92 Pts "Moderately deep pink. Medium/dry Rose with soft cherry/raspberry flavours. The wine has a lovely soft yet almost chewy, viscous texture. Mellow and attractive Rose"
Raymond Chan
"Pale pink colour with some depth and light purple hues on edge. The nose is fresh and bright with clean and aromatic aromas of raspberries and cream, red cherries, hints of fruit pastilles and red florals. Dry to off-dry in taste and medium-bodied, bright, crunchy and lifted raspberry and cream fruit flavours show with a delicate juiciness. Some confectionary nuances add to the sweetness. The fruit is balanced and guided by a fine-textured phenolic line that provides a crisp, thirst-quenching dryness to the mouthfeel, carrying the wine to an elegant, fresh, floral finish. This is an elegant, bright, rosé with raspberry and cream flavours and a fine-textured, dry palate."

This is a concentrated, lively Pinot Noir with flavours of dark-red berry and black cherry fruit, along with complex herb notes, and a fine-textured structure and line. 18+/20.
TOSQ Pinot Noir 2011
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“This is a beautifully perfumed pinot showing complex aromas of red/black cherry, game, cedar and mushroom. The palate is ripe and nicely weighted with silky texture and bright fruit flavours, beautifully complemented by subtle savoury complexity. The finish is long and delicately firm. At its best: now to 2016.”
TOSQ Pinot Noir 2010
90 Score Allen Meadows Burghound
“There is a subtle application of wood on the spicy and floral-inflected dark berry fruit aromas. There is impressive richness and good verve to the attractively well-detailed and textured medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a velvety, clean and ever-so-mildly austere finish that delivers both good length and depth. I like the balance and this should repay mid-term cellaring”
90 Score Wines & Spirits Magazine USA February 2015
“Their 2010 is spicy and vivid, bursting with tannic power and ripe blueberry-scented fruit. It’s an exuberant wine with rustic charm, ready to decant for grilled meats”

92 pts "Bright, vibrant Pinot Noir with red cherry, violet, thyme, mineral and spice/anise characters. Finely textured wine with a supple texture of fine, slightly sappy tannins. It reminds me of a youthful village burgundy. Should age well"
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“A richly flavoured pinot, the bouquet shows dark cherry, plum, game and subtle spicy oak notes. The palate is beautifully ripe and focused with silky texture and gently drying tannins. The wine is generously expressed and firmly structured, and promises to show greater complexity with further time in the bottle. At its best: now to 2015.”

Raymond Chan
"This is soft, savour-fruited Pinot Gris with a good mouth feel and a dry finish" 17.5/20
TOSQ Pinot Gris 2012
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“What a delightful pinot gris. It’s pristine and fragrant on the nose displaying white peach, pear and floral characters with a hint of spice. The palate is succulent and beautifully weighted with whispering sweetness and bright acidity. The wine is long and harmonious, and very tasty. At its best: now to 2016.”
Bob Campbell MW
92 Pts "Quite a rich, flavoursome Pinot Gris with an impressive mouth feel and a creamy texture. It shows typical pear, quince, ripe apple and exotic spice flavours. A hint of sweetness is nicely balanced by gentle acidity to give a nearly dry finish. Attractive wine offering value at this price"
TOSQ Pinot Gris 2011
Michael Cooper’s Buyers Guide to NZ Wine
“The 2011 vintage is a single-vineyard wine. Faintly pink, it is mouthfilling, with strong, ripe, tonefruit flavours of peaches and nectarines, hints of apricots and spices, a sliver of sweetness and considerable complexity. Fleshy, with good concentration, it’s drinking well now.”
Flora
TOSQ Flora 2012
Bob Campbell MW
92 Pts "Flora is a cross between the aromatic varieties Semillon and Gewurztraminer. A delicately floral wine with just a hint of sweetness but a moderately dry finish. Pretty wine with appealing purity"
Michael Cooper’s Buyers Guide to NZ Wine
“The 2012 vintage (4*) is an auspicious debut. Estate-grown at Pisa, in the Cromwell Basin, it was mostly tank-fermented, but a small portion of the blend was lees-aged in old oak barrels. The bouquet is gently spicy; the palate full-bodied and vibrantly fruity, with ripe, peachy, citrusy, spicy flavours that linger well. Dryish, with balanced acidity, it’s a very good ‘food’ wine, for drinking now or cellaring.”
