Region: New Zealand, Marlborough

Grape Variety: Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: This wine needs a few minutes in glass first to relax and begin to open up – then - a range of cherry, sweet cranberry and freeze dried raspberry aromas – young, forward, generous; a touch of milk chocolate followed by sweet oak with smoky edges ensue. Smooth, soft and generous. The palate is filled with flavours of raspberry and dark cherry then a little more milk chocolate followed by sweet oak and oak spice then a hint of light dried herbs. The finish is juicy and quite long – in short a very tasty wine. Supple and lithe, this pinot presents dark fruit flavours mingled with fine tannins and subtle oak spice. The concentrated silky velvet finish and balance of acid and fruit are testament of the blend of these clones from this wonderful site.
