| I agree completely. I bought a bottle, based on the 93 WS rating, in order to try. I was not 'wowed' either. It is a good solid wine; however, for the money, there are others that I enjoy more. |

| I had two bottles over the weekend. I was happy with the wine. It almost had a Zin like quality to it - a little spice. I would drink it again. |

| - 2005 Amisfield Pinot Noir - New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Central Otago (12/14/2007)
Ripe cherry in color, popped and poured. Allowed to open in the glass. Balanced aromas of rasberrie and cherrie cola. Some light spice with a hint of leather. Light mouthfeel, with the cherries and cola coming through on a medium length finish. My first NZ Pinot Noir. Enjoyable, but lacks in any hint of an 'X' factor. Balanced, paired with rotisserie chicken. (89 pts.)

Ruby red in color, popped and poured. Allowed to open in glass over one hour or so. Aromas of rasberrie, red berries and light spices. Medium bodied in the mouth with the with the cherry coming through. Medium length finish. Paired with wild Alasken Salmon and matched well. A pleasent PN. Time in the bottle has served this wine well. (90 pts.)

| Dark cherry & floral elements on nose, ripeness of fruit contributing to a liqueur-like feel on palate; leading to chewy, complex finish that's very well-made but focusing on ripe, New World elements. 91 pts. |
