"(2011) Mellow, creamy, but has a delicious berry richness and rounded, sweet fruit quality. The palate has gorgeous richness and creamy, rounded fruitiness too, with the acidity staying very tight and the tannins adding a lovely bit of grip. The finish is extremely long, and this has fabulous style and elegance. £17, Must Wines."

"(2006) Big, toasty espresso nose, with rich red fruits, and plenty of oomph. The palate has fine fruit and an earthy, slightly chocolaty feel before quiet rough tannins and an edge along with crisp acidity. Tangy and spicy into the finish. Not absolutely harmonious, but lovely life and personality."

"(2021) Primarily from Nautilus's Clay Hills vineyard, 18% whole bunch grapes were fermented with indigenous yeast in open-top fermenters and aged in a mix of new and older French oak Barriques for 11 months. Saturated crimson, the nose has a sheen of polished wood, cool cherry scents and Pinot truffle and floral nuance. Much less dominated by the oak than the Opawa, but still slick and smooth, the ripe blackcurrant and cherry fruit given a bit of spice and bite from the more obvious tannins and perky acid presence, finishng dry and juicy if just a tad short."

"This is a delicate but flavorful wine. It starts off with smoky, beet-like aromas, while the flavors are of pie cherries, with herb overtones. It's medium bodied, with a tart finish. Drink now?2018."

"In der intensiven Nase ein sehr fruchtiger Pinot Noir, viel rote und schwarze Beeren. Weicher Gaumen, mit sanften Tanninen und ebensolcher Säure, schöner Schmelz, sehr aromatisch, zu Erd- und Himbeeren, Kirschen und Brombeeren gesellt sich ein Hauch Schokolade und Pilze. Mittlere Länge. Vielleicht etwas gar gefällig."

"The Nautilus wines have been getting better and better, and this dark-toned Pinot is no exception. It shows excellent complexity?black cherry and dark earth notes alongside hints of cured meat and sassafras?as well as a round mouthfeel that never turns jammy. It's firm enough to hold 2?3 years, if you prefer."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2011 with 85 of 100 points.
"This medium-bodied Pinot Noir is plump on the palate, yet angular on the finish, giving it a slightly disjointed countenance. Perhaps the wine, which is otherwise pleasantly endowed with black cherry fruit and scorched cedar, is simply at a difficult stage."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2009 with 88 of 100 points.
"Made in a bold, fruit-driven style, the 2007 Pinot Noir from Nautilus places black cherry fruit front and center, surrounding it with just enough cola, mushroom and gentle spice to make for pleasing complexity. Acids and tannins are a bit firmer than most Marlborough Pinots, so try pairing it with roast lamb or beef."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2007 with 86 of 100 points.
"Soft, with a lush, friendly texture, this wine's black cherry and cola flavors are pleasant enough, if slightly simple. Given the relatively modest price point, it could be a find on restaurant lists filled with overpriced domestic Pinot Noirs."

87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2005 with 87 of 100 points.
"Combines hints of dried herbs and spice with superripe black cherry aromas. It's a soft, supple, easy-to-drink Pinot that relies heavily on ripe fruit to carry it rather than extra layers of depth or complexity. Imported by Negociants USA, Inc."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2003 with 89 of 100 points.
"A nice surprise, the Nautilus Pinot offers a silky smooth texture allied to lush flavors of black cherries and cocoa. There's even a touch of underbrush thrown in for additional complexity. While the price isn't low enough to warrant a ?Best Buy? commendation, it's more fairly priced than much of its competition."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2001 with 84 of 100 points.
"A light-weight but pretty wine, featuring just enough black-cherry fruit to stand up to some minty overtones. Shows a hint of alcohol on the finish, along with citrusy acidity."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2005 with 84 of 100 points.
"Disappointingly light in weight, this is nonetheless a pretty wine, featuring modest cherry and cola elements backed by leathery, mushroomy notes. Nothing flashy, but it should partner well with farm-raised venison or other mild game."
