'91pts... The wine is flavoursome and offers terrific value' Wine Orbit

The palate displays fresh boysenberries with a silky texture and a long savoury finish. Fresh acidity balances the fine powdered structure complementing the fruit.

An ideal accompaniment to roast chicken, duck or spring lamb.

Description

"This is beautifully ripe and generously fruited, showing dark cherry, mixed berry compote, black olive and toasted almond characters with a hint of savoury mushroom complexity. It is succulent and supple on the palate, and displays attractive fruit intensity and silky texture, leading to a lengthy smooth finish. The wine is flavoursome and offers terrific value. At its best: now to 2019. June 2017" Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Harvested from the excellent 2016 vintage from vineyard sites planted in the Southern Valleys area of  Marlborough. This is a round, full texture Pinot Noir with aromas of sun warmed dark berry fruit interlaced with toasted wood notes and a hint of dark chocolate.  The palate displays fresh boysenberries with a silky texture and a long savoury finish. Fresh acidity balances the fine powdered structure complementing the fruit.

An ideal accompaniment to roast chicken, duck or spring lamb.

Drinking beautifully now and with careful cellaring will develop further over the next 5 years
