"A regional classic. Certified organic, the 2020 vintage (5*) was hand-harvested from estate-grown, mature vines and aged for 11 months in French oak casks (23 per cent new). Deep ruby, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with concentrated, ripe cherry, spice and nut flavours, showing excellent complexity, and a lingering finish. Still fresh and youthful, it's a savoury, finely structured wine, well worth cellaring to 2024+" Michael Cooper, Feb 2023

"Appealing perfume with a savoury edge and more conventional plum, dark cherry and spicy varietal flavours. Accessible wine with moderate cellaring potential. Good food wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2023

"A complete wine on the nose and palate with aromas and flavours of red berries and savoury spices, a sense of place and texture from fruit and wood. A dry wine with flavours of red apple skin and cherry flesh, thyme and savoury spices, some wild flowers and forest berries. There’s a tautness on the palate showcasing the wine youthful and impact from tannins and acidity - both adding mouthfeel and structure. Well made with plenty of development time ahead. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

"Now in its 26th vintage, this is one of New Zealand’s most respected pinot noirs. The 2020 erupts with classic Central Otago dark fruits and dried thyme aromatics, then follows through with attractively layered spice and charred oak notes. There’s some tannic cling and grip and it’s edged with wild rhubarb and whispers of black tea. Always aged for at least 12 months in bottle before release, it’s classic, stylish and very appealing" Yvonne Lorkin, Apr 2023

The 2020 Bannockburn Pinot Noir has a lovely aroma with notes of fresh blackberries, raspberry coulis and vanilla. It's complex and layered on the palate, the tannins are soft and build, alongside notes of wood smoke, leather and black pepper. It's long and powerful, with plenty of years ahead of it to gather further detail.

The Bannockburn Pinot Noir is Carrick's flagship wine, and the wine that we feel best represents the strong connection we have with our site. Known for its structure and ability to age well over a long period of time, the fruit is hand-picked from several vineyard parcels that are entirely grown on their own roots and are the oldest vines we have on the property. Now 25 years old. The 2020 growing season was cool to start with a late budburst, cold in December and early January. Followed by heat spikes in late January and throughout February began to see ripening catch up. Quality was the silver lining of this tumultuous year.

Comprised of just 3 different vineyard parcels, a mix of clones 10/5 and clone 13, each hand-picked at optimum ripeness, destemmed, then fermented separately. Spending 20-26 days on skins, the wine was pressed, then aged in barrel for 11 months, with 23% new oak. Each barrel was hand-selected then blended together, for a further 6 months before bottling, unfined and lightly filtered.

Fate. She is powerful.
Format: Paperback
“She loves me. And I broke her heart.” (p.246) Fate. She is powerful. She comes from deep historical roots with points of view that range from philosophy (a diverse range of POVs), Psychology and Religion. Here, fate is frequently portrayed as an inescapable, cosmic force that binds Sienna and Jasmine. An inevitable rather than accidental “destined mates” scenario, believed by one, “she just goes with the flow. Wherever fate takes her,” (p.323) and discredited by the other. And yet free will insists on entering the room. Why? Because choices still happened. Some careful. Some reckless. Fate may have guided the path, but Sienna and eventually Jasmine took control. The turbulence mattered. The risk mattered. “Find Sienna. Be with her. Win at life again.” (p.263) And still, despite everything, the plane landed. Jasmine, was shaped early by trauma, a mother’s shame cutting deep as she punished her daughter for refusing the narrow role of a dutiful woman and never letting her forget the cost of that refusal. As a result, Jasmine believed she was lacking, selfish, too egotistical, abandoned heritage, family, and God. Nor would she ever find true happiness in the arms of a woman. Stripped of her creative & artistic soul. Once magnanimous, Jasmine went colorless. Alas, the tormented, detached, aloof CEO Ice Queen. Putting duty, image, and reputation first. Sad. Broken. Lost. Caged. Winter presents the struggle well, a trademark and also draws from other Ice Queen characteristics in previous novels. Sienna the artist, lived for freedom. “A playful fearless spirit, gentle and free, who existed only to roam and learn and embrace new experiences. Someone with an enthusiasm for life and love,” (p.255) reflected sprinkles of Eden (The Villian Series), planted herself within the head and heart of one Jasmine Gemayel. Admired and enamored during her youth, Sienna, as an adult, was fated to melt the Ice. The story that links these two (past to present) is heartfelt and heartbroken. An accidental opportunity, a meeting of artistic minds, a cage, a bird, a sweet memorable dog, a hurtful twist, an awakening, a second chance, and a happily ever after. A recipe for emotional satisfaction.

Phenomenal!!!
Format: Kindle
I wholeheartedly loved this book and look forward to listening to it when the audiobook comes out! The characters are well rounded, flawed, and delicious. The dialogue was incredible and the banter was spectacular. This was a hard book to put down and I didn’t want it to end.

a work of art
Format: Kindle
This book is rich in colors, ideas, characters and story line. It gently makes you fall in love with the characters, and slowly reveals the flaws that make them more human and lovable. The story reminds us how important our words are, and how they can change lives, for better, worse, or both. It also reminds the reader of the importance of not forgetting who you are and your passions. Even in the difficult parts, it was a joy to read.. and the ice queen did not disappoint. This writing was a work of art.

Lee always knocks it out the park.
Format: Kindle
As always, When She Flies is very well written and the detail is great. I really enjoyed the little nuances in this book. Oliver had to be my favorite with his excitement. It was intriguing to see Ethan grow into more than an antagonist which is what I thought he was going to be. Sienna’s openness and honestly was refreshing and so was Jasmine’s brutal honestly which reminded me of Elena from The Brutal Truth. Overall, I loved this book.

Winter strikes again
Format: Kindle
No one writes an ice queen quite like Lee Winter. This book has less of her tongue in cheek humor and is a little more angsty. The main characters meet again by chance, or as Sienna would say, fate. Jasmine only vaguely remembers teenage Sienna, and actually thought she was a boy. Sienna, of course, remembers Jasmine because her influence changed the course of Sienna's life.
