Dark Pinot. Lots of cherry. Not as complex as some from Otago. Cries out for and pairs well with chocolate covered cherries. November 2023.

Light garnet colour with cherries and raspberries on palate
A light clean wine with good acidity and lengthy lingering aftertaste and has soft tannins but it just needs more weight to be first class

Bought this at the vineyard down in New Zealand after a tasting. This is an awesome Pinot Noir. It was smooth and not acidic. It was light with notes to please the pallet. Finally the finish, after being so smooth to drink presented notes of pepper! Awesome wine!!

Good. A bit dry for Pinot Noir but overall easy to drink.

Very acidic, actually difficult to drink. Not at all what I expected from a Central Otago Pinot Noir.
