The Southern Valleys is a Marlborough-South Island hot spot for pinot noir as noted here by a depth of tang in fruit...
Here's a fleshy, soft, rhubarb and tart black fruit flavoured pinot noir with light, dusty tannins and zesty acids....

Indigenous yeast fermented, with some whole bunch fermentation, and matured in French oak for 11 months. Fresh, medium+ intensity nose is earthy with beetroot, rhubarb, cherry, and spice aromas. It’s medium+ bodied and nicely balanced with lovely aroma replays, plus cran-cherry flavours, supported by fine-grained tannins that offer some structure on the back palate. Balanced throughout with a long, clean finish. Enjoy over the next 6-8 years. Tasted Mar/2020. Score: 90+ pts
