Natalie's Score: 90/100

Love the blend of expressive New World fruit with a savoury, earthy Old World edge in style. Aromas of mouth-watering black cherry, luscious layers of satiny fleshy fruit with some spice on the finish. Superb quality and taste for the money. The signature of the Greywacke sandstone soil comes through on the both the palate and finish. Previous vintages of this wine have won the Gold Medal at the Royal Easter Show Wine Awards.

Pinot Noir food pairings: grilled beef, lamb skewers with a rosemary rub, roast chicken, pork tenderloin.

The 2012 vintage of this vibrant New Zealand Pinot Noir offers smoky violets and oak spice with luscious fleshy cherry. Nestled under the southern foothills of Marlborough's Wairau Valley, this winery produces charismatic Pinot Noir with berry richness. - 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.
