Andrea Shapiro scored this wine: 89/100
This is a fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the South lsland region in Marlborough. A pretty pale ruby colour and lots of polished red fruit on the nose. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry, licorice and a touch of earth. On the palate, tart-chewy cherries, smoke, light pepper and strawberry freshness. Baking spice, vanilla and a hint of raspberry and anise carrying into the finish. Medium acidity with a light body and tannins. Nicely balanced. Will accompany mandarin beef, mushrooms and rice noodle dishes nicely.
