Very decent juicy blackberry with a touch of spice. Dry, gentle tannins, a wine to enjoy with a simple supper. Not that I ever prepare a simple supper…

Fist Marl Pinot I've had. Fantastic, not dissimilar to an Oregon. Should keep for another few years yet!

Good intensity to the dark fruit, which is highlighted by fine acidity. Great length but the fruit turns a bit tart in the end. Interesting kiwi pinot.

Extremely light PN didn't achieve the "sweet dark cherry" or "savoury finish"claim by winery. This wine was without exacting mouth layers that I've come to expect from this NZ region. The word "hint" of flavours is a fair description & certainly could have used some more maturity.

Light cherry and tea leaf notes. Dry finish with good acidity. A leaner, dry PN.
