Michael Cooper's Buyer's Guide to NZ Wines: 2012

The big day is finally here!  We are releasing our long awaited 2008's in New Zealand. Michael Cooper describes Puriri Hills in his Buyers Guide to New Zealand Wines 2012

Puriri Hills Estate 2008: “Deep and youthful in colour, it is full-bodied, with a spicy bouquet and an array of blackcurrant, plum, herb, spice and nut flavours, showing excellent depth and complexity. Fresh, vibrant and firm, it should be long-lived; open 2013+.”  4 1/2 stars

Puriri Hills  Reserve 2008:  “Invitingly fragrant, with strong, beautifully ripe blackcurrant, plum, herb and spice flavours, seasoned with nutty oak, it is a complex, very fresh and youthful wine with a seductively silky texture. It should flourish with bottle-age; open 2013+.”  5 stars

Puriri Hills Pope 2008: “Deeply coloured, it is mouthfilling, fresh and supple, with substantial body and deep, lush blackcurrant, herb, spice and nut flavours, framed by fine, silky tannins. Showing lovely richness and texture, it’s already approachable”; drink now or cellar.”  5 stars"
