Pinot Noir is the rising star of Marlborough and the variety that most expresses the differences from season to season. Grown on the southern hills in clay soils, this Pinot is well rounded with oh-so juicy flavors of cherry and black Doris plum. The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation have added complexity and texture to the dark fruits and the finish is dry with a nice touch of dark chocolate and spice.
91 Wine Enthusiast Succulent blackberry and blueberry mingle with toasted chocolate and spiced oak. There's a lovely vibrancy in the mouth thanks to juicy acidity. A chalky, powerful line of spice-flecked tannins frames it all.
90 James Suckling A fruity pinot with aromas of strawberries, raspberries, cherries and lemons. Hints of licorice. Juicy and supple with sleek tannins and a medium body. Very drinkable. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.
