Gold Rocker Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021

Description

Cherry, Oak, Vanilla

"Sweetly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows dark berry, smoked game, roasted nut and warm spice aromas. The palate is equally appealing with plump mouthfeel backed by silky texture and polished tannins, finishing long and delectable. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2024

"A lovely bouquet and palate with a  core of varietal ripeness and scents of dark cherry and baked raspberry, a layer of savoury Otago rugged hillside power. The palate also features textured from polished tannins and acidity, judicious use of oak and a lengthy finish with plum and berry fruit flavours. There’s a whisper of earth smoke accentuated by barrel spices. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2030+. Excellent vallue" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2024

"Captivating aromas balance soft fruit, earthy savoury notes, and subtle oak The palate explodes with vibrant red and black cherry, complemented by toasty oak notes of vanilla, nutmeg, and clove Hints of olive tapenade add complexity, while crushed rocks bring mineral freshness. The finish lingers with a touch of grilled oyster mushroom, wrapping up this beautifully balanced modern-style Central Otago Pinot Noir" The Wine Writer, Michael Darby

Sunwarmed cherries, doris plums, spiced cinnamon and cloves with underlying savoury notes. Fresh cherries, blackcurrants balanced by sweet vanilla oak and silky fine grain tannins.
