93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
92/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
Ethereal and aromatic with a beautifully unctuous texture and luxe mouthfeel, this pinot gris immediately stood out. Layers of ripe pear are lifted by subtle cardamom spice, creating a wine that feels both generous and refined. We tasted it, immediately recognized the quality, and knew instantly we had to jump at the deal.
Zephyr was born when the Glover family ditched dairy farming for vineyards in Marlborough’s Dillon’s Point. Crafted by winemaker Ben Glover, whose career includes leading roles at Wither Hills, Lindauer, Huntaway and Corbans before dedicating himself full-time to his family’s Zephyr label, this pinot gris showcases premium Marlborough quality. And now available at a compelling clearance price!!!
It's everything that you want generously styled boutique pinot gris to be and after one sip and you'll instantly know that this wine was not meant to be sold for $19.99.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "An excellent bouquet of ripe white fleshed pomaceous fruits with brown pear and yellow apple then framed by spice and lees complexity giving the aromas shape and form. Fresh, satin textures and ripe fruit flavours on the palate deliver a wine of deliciousness and immediate drinking opportunity. Medium weighted with plenty of acidity fruits concentration and length. Best from 2025 through 2029."
Stephen Wong MW writes "A complex and interesting pinot gris, this has oodles of personality, from its concentrated spiced apple, tangelo and Turkish apricot flavours to its off-beat waxy texture, savoury mushroom pie and spicy, nutty phenolics. It goes from mid-weight and almost oily on the palate to off-dry and airy on the finish, held together by a sustained note of pithiness. This is very food-friendly and will develop more savouriness over the next year."
The winemaker writes “Shows pristine pertness, poise and precision. A touch of sweetness to ensure you get the ‘kick’ to keep you partying. A perfect elixir when you are in-between. Flavours of apple and pear crumble, cinammon."
