"Deep ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is gently full, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, herbs, cedar and subtle spices. Medium-full bodied, aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and black raspberry, entwined with cedar, cigar leaf, clove and cocoa. The fruit shows purity with excellent flavour and acid balance. Velvety tannins provide structure and linger with rich, dark, stony minerals, lending a broody, enticing finish. An elegant, well-structured, harmonious red blend" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Nov 2025

"An excellent wine with a frame of dark berries, violets and ripe Doris plums. Flavours expand on the palate as the wine begins to open out with chocolate and new leather, boysenberry then black currant and baking spices. Complex, new, dry and full-bodied. A lovely concentration and power, a firm squeeze on the palate with a backbone of acidity and smoky wood tones. The baking spices and wood flavours layer in complexity and length. Youthful and still developing with best drinking from 2029 through 2035" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2025

Deep ruby red with a vibrant purple hue, the bouquet opens with rich aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and hints of cedar from oak ageing. There is a touch of dried herbs and a whisper of tobacco adding complexity. The palate is full-bodied and structured with velvety tannins and flavours of ripe black fruits interwoven with layers of spice reminiscent of cinnamon and fruit cake. The oak influence is evident but well-integrated, providing a luxurious mouthfeel and contributed to flavours of toasted oak and espresso. The finish is long and lingering, with a harmonious balance between fruit, oak and savoury elements that leave a lasting impression.

Cornerstone vineyard is planted in the famous Gimblett Gravels appellation. The canopy was kept open to ensure airflow around the bunches which kept them clean and open to sunlight. This meant that the fruit was picked at the exact time we needed to make the wine, rather than being dictated by the weather.

2023 was a bitter sweet vintage for the Hawke's Bay but luckily our Cornerstone vineyard weathered the cyclone with aplomb and produced some of the most intense fruit of the season.

100% hand picked. Destemmed and fermented in small open fermenters. Plunged daily and when necessary the wines were racked and returned to aid gentle tannin extraction and cooling of the ferment. 50% of the wine was inoculated while the remainder of the fruit we allowed to start naturally – the later adding depth while the former adds fruit spectrum. 100% oak matured in 50% new French barrique with the odd Hogshead (300 Litre barrel) and seasoned oak for a total of 18 months. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally during the spring months of 2023.

Great Quality
My son Loves this Jacket. He specifically asked for one for Christmas and this one met his every expectation. It is great quality. It is thick and warm without being too bulky. I sized up for him since he is a growing teenager and it still fits great and he will be able to wear it next winter too if he wants.

Cotton as Stylish as Snow
So far, after only wearing it a handful of days, I have already fallen deeply in love with this jacket. With its quality fleece jean material and stylish look, it's arguably climbed at record speed to being my favorite winter jacket thus far. It won't exactly cut it for the days of extreme cold, but it's practically perfect for those high 30s to low 50s degree Fahrenheit weather! The cotton on the inside is both soft and warm, and the overall fit of it hits a perfect sweet spot of being weighty without feeling too hefty or dragging on the body. The pockets aren't the deepest in the world, but with four of them, they'll be more than able to carry an decently sized arsenal of your everyday items. It lays on nicely, and is able to be worn with an extra layer or two underneath, in case a bit of extra warmth is needed. The only caveat that I could give it, hence why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that if you choose to dawn on clothes that are rather lint susceptible, this jacket will be a direct enemy to it. But that is where the criticisms start and end, and is why I wish there were a way to give a product a 4.5 stars review here on Amazon. Otherwise, this is a must buy for anyone looking for a winter jacket that packs a bit more visual finesse than a typical puffer jacket. If only I had the sense to buy a winter jean jacket such as this one sooner rather than later!

Absolutely loved this
First of all, I loved that it came in a nice transparent bag. And it is the perfect fit. The inside is lined sherpa fleece, which is really warm in freezing temperature. The outside is denim material. It's not stretchy but is soft from inside. The color I got is dark brown.
