90/100 with the following review:
Pale Ruby. Cherry, strawberry, ripe raspberry and a variety of bright red fruit. Flecks of leather, smoke and earth on the nose. The elemental aromatics are echoed nicely in the flavours with the addition of fresh blackcurrant leaf herbs. Light bodied with a medium, dry finish. Pair with grilled rainbow trout and dill butter. 90 points - Tasted May 2017

Inviting tart cherry, earth and smoke on the nose - vanilla, cherry and hints of mocha on the palate. Great value pinot noir. Tasted October 2017.

This is a light coloured and light bodied pinot noir. On the nose, the fruit is prominent with strawberry and cherry aromas. There’s also cedar and vanilla.
On the palate, there’s sour cherries and red berries. It is tart with silky tannins. This wine can be enjoyed with food or on it’s own.

Great value for the price. Very aromatic with red cherries, sweet smoke and spice with a bit of earth. Flavours of bright red tart cherries and spice. It's not rich but the finish lingers. A great Pinot to serve to a gang especially at the price point.

A lovely Pinot with pleasant cherry, blackberry, sweet spice and vanilla nose and palate and an interesting hint of smoke/charring on the finish. It tastes fresh - acidity balances out the rich fruitness and the tannins are kept at bay. Keep a few on hand - just in case.

This wine just goes to show you that you don't have to break the bank for a good tasting Pinot Noir. Very aromatic with aromas of smoke, vanilla, sweet spice and cherry. Well balanced with fruit, acidity and subtle tannins in harmony. Medium body with a medium-long finish. This is a Pinot to pair with that smoked pork you roasted all afternoon in your Big Green Egg or all on its own on a Friday night after a long week at work. Tasted June 1, 2017.

Aromatic and flavourful Pinot Noir from Marlborough. Black cherry, mild earthiness and hint of violets . Gentle tannins and smooth, lasting finish. Pair with brie stuffed mushrooms.

Vibrant red cherry and vanilla aromas, with hints of baking spices that carry through on the palate, with a lingering spicy cherry finish. Wonderful with salmon or roast pork. 90pts.
Tasted June 2017.

An excellent example of New Zealand's Marlborough Pinot Noir and one of my personal favourites. Tart cherry, earth and espresso on the aromatic nose, followed by a satiny, mouth-watering palate giving tart cherries, espresso, dark chocolate, forest floor, herbs and oak. Lingering smooth mocha-cherry finish. Pair this with grilled duck breast and a rich chocolate cake for a heavenly feast.

Beautiful cool climate Marlborough Pinot. Declared 13.5% ABV. Medium-bodied, well-balanced, integrated alcohol. Zesty cherry and baking spice, savoury herb. Pairs exceptionally well with roast pork, roast turkey, rotisserie chicken, cedar plank salmon. Great on it's own as well. Tasted May 2017. 91 points BespokeTastings
Natalie's Review
Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2015, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Toasty oak on the nose of this terrific New Zealand red wine wraps around fleshy ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, mouth-watering juicy and smooth with a great finish. Smoky oak and black cherry notes with some dark spice on the finish. Terrific with a wide range of dishes, especially holiday turkey.
