One of the world's most appealing bottles of Pinot Noir.
This is a gentle & graceful Pinot. In three words: Confident, Umami, Focused.
"Lots of pleasure here...Burgundy enthusiasts take note!" Jancis Robinson MW

Description
Youthful, purple hue in the glass with a complex nose of cracked pepper, dark summer berries, black cherry and chocolate, combined with visceral, earthy characters, dried wild herbs and excellent but unobtrusive supporting oak. On thepalate initial savoury / black fruit entry carries through a mouth filling, richly structured palate, the texture of soft leather. An underlying mineral acidity supports this richness, adding a certain juiciness and considerable length. Overall a wine of complexity and finesse.
Listed in the 2019 Fine Wines of New Zealand list.
