A New Zealand Radio Comment
“Desert Heart Pinot Noir 2006 - an absolute cracker of a wine that dances in the glass”
New Zealand International Wineshow 2007
Bronze - Desert Heart Pinot Noir 2006
Bob Campbell – Dec 2007
Desert Heart Rose 2007 – 4 stars
Pretty wine with crushed strawberry and crystallized cherry flavours. An off-dry style with a gentle texture, good mouth feel and reasonable length.

Desert Heart Spencer Block 2005 – 4 stars
Sweet fruit with appealing plum and cherry flavours. Soft., accessible, charming red.
New Zealand Weekend Herald – Canvas
Wine of the week – John Saker
Desert Heart Spencer Block Pinot Noir 2005
A pinot with quietly forceful sweet fruit charm, and flavours akin to violets, dark cherries and mushroom. The tannins are silky.

Peter’s Picks
Desert Heart Pinot Noir 2004
Central Otago; with one of the most romantically worded back labels in New Zealand. Strong, alive and hearty pinot characters, very clean and with texture and subtlety developing – and emerging after opening. Looks really good.

Gold – Desert Heart Pinot Noir 2003
July 2004 Bob Campbell MW
Desert Heart 2003 Pinot Noir is a great vintage from what promises to be an exciting new vineyard – it is an elegant, supple wine that offers much appeal.
