Raymond Chan
Russian Jack Pinot Noir 2013 – 4 STARS
Dark, deep, ruby-red colour with light purple hues on rim. This has a fresh and elegant nose of ripe dark raspberry fruit with lifted whole berry fermentation aromas of fruit pastilles, the aromatics up-front and easy. Medium-bodied, full flavours of lusciously juicy raspberry fruit intermingle with confectionary and plum jam notes, forming a good deep core.
The mouthfeel is soft and plush, with light, supple tannin extraction. Fresh acidity enlivens the fruit, providing vibrancy and vitality and the wine is carried with underlying alcohol drive to a sweet, juicy raspberry fruited finish. This is a plush, up-front, raspberry fruited Pinot Noir with freshness and vibrancy. Serve with antipasto, pasta and barbecued foods over the next 3+ years. Fruit from the ‘Burnt Spur’ vineyard fermented to 12.8% alc.

Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc 2014 – 4 STARS
Full, even, bright straw-yellow colour. The nose is initially light and tightly bound, fresh gooseberry fruit aromas along with chalky mineral and herb notes, blossoming with aeration to reveal ripe tropical fruit and pungent passionfruit elements. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, bright flavours of passionfruit and gooseberries form a good, dense core.
The mouthfeel is harmonious with soft textures, light acid liveliness and a smooth, gentle flow. This has good underlying energy carrying the wine to a fresh, passionfruity finish. This is a soft and harmonious, passionfruity Sauvignon Blanc with good depth. Serve as an aperitif and with herb-marinated white meat dishes over the next 2 years. Marlborough fruit cool-fermented in tank to 13.0% alc.
