Gravel & Loam Wairau Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir 2018

Description

"Attractively fruited and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows dark cherry, plum, olive and mixed spice aromas, followed by a beautifully rounded palate that’s juicy and supple. The wine offers elegant weight, fine texture and flowing mouthfeel, backed by fine, grainy tannins, finishing long and delightfully dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

The wine is sweetly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows dried cherry and ripe strawberries characters with game, earthy mushroom and mixed spice notes. The palate is nicely rounded and fruited with smooth texture and fine tannins, lingering and pleasingly dry.
