"Seductive and complex bouquet with scents of dark berries and sweet barrel spices, a core of crushed rock earthy complexity, nutmeg and vanilla, barrel smoke, dark raspberry and black currant, a whisper of insence and dark roses. In other words - complex and beguiling. Very youthful on the palate with a taut mouthfeel led by an abundance of chalky tannin textures and youthful acid line. The core fruit flavours repeat on the palate with wood spices and smoky barrel qualities adding complexity, breadth and depth. A rather fntastic wine, well made and ready to drink from 2024 through 2035+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2022

"Elegant, youthful pinot noir with dark cherry, plum, floral/violet, vanilla bean and mixed spice flavours. A core of sweet fruit is perfectly balanced by gentle acidity and fine, peppery tannins. Accessible now but with good cellaring potential" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, May 2022

The 2019 Calvert Pinot Noir is dark ruby red in colour. The nose is dominated by savoury characters of earthiness, cinnamon spice, blackberry and dark plum aromas. This leads into a wine with silky textured smooth tannins. The earthiness thread becomes the backbone of the palate and is complemented by the rounded, brooding dark fruit characters and spiciness creating a luscious lingering mouth feel.

The Calvert vineyard is situated on Felton Road in Bannockburn, Central Otago and is organically certified. It has been owned by Owen Calvert and his family since 1989 (Planted in 2003) and is currently leased to Cloudy Bay. Since 2018 we have taken 2-3 tonnes of the fruit each year from 0.48 hectares to make a small quantity of high end Pinot Noir for the new Calvert wine label. The soil in the Calvert vineyard is deep silt loam with quartz specks throughout. Felton Road Wines used to manage and take fruit from this block but in 2013 the Calvert family sold a portion of their vineyard to Felton Road Wines. (FRW) The FRW portion of the Calvert vineyard is adjacent to the blocks which the Calvert family still own and are managed completely separately.

Using organically grown grapes of clones 115 and 10/5 from rows 28-33 of the Calvert vineyard, our 2.3 tonnes of Pinot Noir was hand harvested on 8th April 2019. The fermentation included 25% whole bunch and was completed using indigenous yeast. The 2019 was matured in 30% new French oak barrels for 14 months before bottling without fining or filtration in July 2020.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
