Nice to see a pinot of this quality as a general listing, and at a reasonable price too. Not hugely complex, but a compelling sipper with cherry, cola, and floral notes. For me, it strikes the right balance between cool climate delicacy and in-your-face warm climate abundant fruitiness and high alcohol.

Another fine vintage from a reliable Marlborough producer of NZ Pinot Noir.

Bright nose of cherries, raspberry, hint of white pepper and herbs.

Palate of lush strawberries, sour cherries, and a touch of dark fruit jam. Medium-bodied, the nice acidity hold the fruit finish, with mild tannins.

A classic new-world pinot.

Tasted November 2014.

Explosive flavours with a nice mix of sweet & sour fruits

Description: Light garnet to ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features pine, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, oak spice, nutmeg and autumn leaves. Medium body with low tannins, good acidity and a long length.

Negatives: Some heat from the 13% alcohol

Interesting Point: Slightly chill and serve in a Balloon style glass

Drink now or in the next 5-7 of years on its own or pair it with .
