A perfumed bouquet of ripe cherries and raspberry fruits, hallmarks of Marlborough Pinot Noir. On the palate the wine displays ripe fruit with complex savoury and spice elements.

87 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '05 Villa Maria Private Bin Merlot Cabernet is a smooth, supple wine that firms up just enough on the dusty finish to give it the proper structure; clean and fresh..

The Villa Maria Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc shows bright citrus peel and dried leaf aromas and flavors; medium bodied, crisp aftertaste.

Marlborough, New Zealand. 12.5% ABV.
