Rua Central Otago Pinot Noir

Approachable and smooth drinking

Medium-ruby clear color; bright cherries and raspberries, sweet floral notes, minerals, and some unusual forest-meaty whiffs on the nose; on the palate it is fruity with high acids and soft tannins, and with a spicy savouriness toward the end. A nicely balanced and interesting Central Otago PN.

Very light before dinner. In lieu of white. Fruity but not sweet

Not very balanced, a lot of fruit but not much else. Easy to drink, lacks complexity.

This is a nice juicy Pinot, with sweet and sour cherries and cola flavour. It's tangy on the palate, like a fresh fruit juice. Perhaps a bit pricy but then again it from CO - the ends of the earth, so I'll pay my respect.

Not bad. Nice red fruit, nice acidity.

Good balance, great Pinot.

In Mount Maunganui. Went well with NZ lamb rump!!!

Roasted spices on the back of the mouth, peppers and earthy.
