A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices, and silky fine-boned tannins. This wine has all the makings of a long-lived Marlborough pinot noir and matches perfectly with duck, red meats (particularly venison and lamb), and mushroom dishes. Subtle smokey notes frame the aromas of dark berries and plums. The palate shows opulent fruit over a velvety texture and silky, finely-grained tannins, finishing with a hint of warming spice.
