Lemon butter with mineral notes. It's medium bodied - feels creamy on the palate but finishes dry. This wine is suave but also gently refreshes your palate. Very nice for the price.

Nice creamy texture with honey suckle, and some faint citrus undertones. Easy drinking elegant stuff, flavours are subtle.

Smells like Ricola herbal cough drops, and smoky cherries with vanilla oak & cedar. The palate is medium bodied, with grippy tannins. Nice fruity loganberry finish.

Impressive by all standards...especially since every bottling year after year reflects this high quality. It's full and rich but composed and balanced. I highly recommend!

Wow this is outstanding...Especially considering it's under $20 bones. Really nice natural and pure nose of butter, mineral, white musk, melon, banana and cream. (lot's of Malolactic on this baby). The palate is full suave with intense-elegance. Nice structured finish.

Akarua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011 Bottle
Akarua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011
Central Otago, New Zealand
$37.95

BIG, RICH & ROUND! ...is the best way to sum up this Pinot. Fans of Russian River Valley Pinots will appreciate this offering. The nose is deep and seductive with sweet brown sugar, sweet cherry tobacco & warm spices. The palate is full, round and plush - it has a real creaminess. The finish is long and smooth. Would I purchase it again? You bet!
