SOHO McQueen Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024

Description

Boysenberry, Oak, Vanilla

"This is wonderfully composed and styled, showing sweet cherry, rich floral, warm spice, and toasted nut aromas on the nose. The concentrated palate is both rich and refined with a velvety texture, beautifully framed by finely infused tannins, making it structured yet harmonious and persistent with a plush mouthfeel. At its best: now to 2032" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2025

"Medium ruby-red with a purple hue, even colour throughout. The nose is expressive, packed with aromas of black and red cherry, mulberry, thyme, spice and smoke. Medium-bodied, aromas of cherry, mulberry and thyme, entwined with pepper, nutmeg and toasty oak. The fruit is juicy with a balance of red and black fruit; oak spice enriches and contributes layers. Smooth, silky tannins provide elegance and vitality" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Nov 2025

"A delicious wine, balanced and well made with core aromas and flavours black plum and dark-skinned cherry flesh, there’s a distinctive savoury core with clove and vanilla spice, some smoky wood tones and earthy qualities. Taut, dry, youthful, silky smooth, balanced and well made. Tannins are fine and acidity bold giving the wine youth and finesse. Best drinking from 2026 through 2032" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2025

"A polished, expressive Pinot Noir that captures the intensity and elegance of Central Otago with aromas of black cherry, subtle red plums and a floral depth of taste that is underpinned by earthy mushroom aromas and subtle oak. The palate is silky and concentrated with finely tuned tannins and vibrant acidity framing fruit flavours. This is a wine of balance and depth, with a long, layered finish. It drinks well now and is especially well suited to mushroom risotto" Joelle Thompson

Rhythmic style with no-nonsense disposition – big, ripe and juicy. Quintessential Central Otago Pinot Noir from the sun-drenched hillside slopes of Bendigo and the alluvial gravels of Queensberry. Floral highlights, black cherry and ripe boysenberry with smacks of cedar and baked spices complete with a dusting of cocoa and vanilla bean. Hip, opulent and charismatic, framed by svelte tannins, and a delectably moreish finish. Central Otago Pinot Noir – the epitome of cool climate style. McQueen – the King (and Queen) of Cool. Matured in French Oak Barriques – 25% New.
