WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Deep burgundy in color with a crimson hue. A plethora of brambled fruits and porcini mushrooms lead the bouquet. With an exciting and vibrant palate, a red-fruited core wraps the velvet tannin with an undeniable depth of flavor—a long road ahead for this wine that will reward with age.
TASTING NOTES:
Ripe strawberry, orange peel, and meat with some earth on the nose. Full-bodied with a pure and solid core of ripe strawberry fruit. Fine, velvety tannins. Layered and beautiful.
- James Suckling, 94 pts.
Luscious berry aromas take the lead on this concentrated Pinot from one of New Zealand’s best-known red producers. The florals, vanilla and toasty spice notes are just whispers for the moment. The silky palate is rich and primary, with layers of flavor that are still tightly packed in.
