Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Central Otago on the South Island of New Zealand, the 2016 vintage of the Invivo is spicy, red and black cherry and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Drink now and for the next couple of years. Mocha and fleshy sweet cherry on the nose and palate of this luscious medium-bodied satin-smooth red wine from New Zealand made from the classic Pinot Noir grape. Pair with roast chicken.

Pinot Noir food pairings: lamb tangine, filet mignon of venison, rib steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale ruby in colour with delicate fruity aromas of bright red fruit; cherry, raspberry, cranberry and forest flowers. Flavours are nuanced reflecting the same on the palate. A few smokey woody notes also present. Very light. Medium plus acidity, light body, tannins and a longer finish with grilled red peppers continuing. A delightful pairing with Gouda cheese. 89 points- tasted March 2018
Invivo 2016 is produced from Pinot Noir from Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand. This is a lush, medium-bodied PN with juicy raspberry, cherry, damson plums wrapped up in cedar spice, smoky, toasty flavours on the palate. Simply delicious. Have on its own or with grilled lamb lollipops. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
