Very savoury/spicy (cinnamon?) when first poured, but the fruit emerged after a bit of aeration, led by sour cherry. This is a sophisticated and nuanced pinot, quite smooth on the palate with a slight edge from soft tannins, and a long finish with just a trace of bitterness. Last tasted September 2024, and significantly improved compared with tasting in the spring of 2023.

A nice Marlborough Pinot showing red cherry, strawberry jam, baking spice, smoke, herbs and minerality. Medium/full bodied with some warmimg alcohol, the acidity balances the fruit nicely and the length is excellent. Try it with cedar planked salmon. August 2022.
