1 | Wine | Pinot Noir, Marlborough, Unrated

"Aromas of wild strawberry and cherry. Dark cedar notes with a hint of mint and dried herbs. Ripe, medium weight and good volume with fine tannins and spicy length - finishing with dark fruits and savoury cedar."

"Plenty of peppery details and a pleasant forest floor earthiness mark the finish."

"This wine has a deep plum tint. As I write this 2 months after bottling in February, this Pinot Noir is showing cocoa and morello cherry aromas layered over subtle hints of oak. The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation in barrel have added complexity and texture to the bright fruit characters found of the palate. This is a supple wine with good weight and fine tannins. It will continue to drink well over the next three to five years."

"Slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, red cherry, peony and blood orange. A pure, concentrated midweight with a savory quality and very good energy to its red berry and spice flavors. Finishes quite suave, with sweet, easygoing tannins and sneaky, tactile persistence." Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer.
