Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Light and bright on the nose, with aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, and fresh earthy notes and a hint of mocha. Light to medium bodied, bright acidity, and lots of tart and fresh fruit on the palate, with a hint of a spicy note on the finish. Enjoy with grilled salmon, pork, turkey, or lamb.
From Palliser Estate, Pencarrow (2016) is a rich and vibrant Pinot Noir from Martinborough, North Island, New Zealand. This medium to full bodied wine is savoury with dark ripe cherries and earthy flavours on the palate. Finishes long with lingering light herbs and savoury spice. Drink now and for the next three years. - Community Wine Reviews
