Berry aromas, subtle spice and well-integrated oak. Fruit-driven; plum and dark berry flavors. Smooth, fine-grain tannins and excellent structure and balance. This vintage is fragrant and very typical of Marlborough. Following traditional plunging of the skins during fermentation for flavor and tannin, the wine was aged in a combination of new and older French oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling. The oak was selected to add a mix of spicy characters (cinnamon, pepper, and more) to the aroma and complexity and weight to the palate, without being dominant. The wine is made in a food-friendly Old World-style. Excellent on its own or with steak, lamb, salmon, and many other dishes.

This is a ripe yet lightweight style of Pinot. Plum, raspberry and cherry preserves dominate. An underbelly of pencil lead, dried violets and warming spices adds a layer of interest. Textural tannins are talc-like and appealing on the palate, but elevated acidity and a lack of fruit depth makes this a little thin and aggressive. Nevertheless, there's crowd appeal in this affordable bottling.
