Very nice. Refined and balanced. Forest floor, tea leaf, dried leaves, tart cherry, raspberry, great acidity, tiny bit floral. One of our favorite Marlborough Pinots so far.

Bright fruit, delicate tannins, ripe cherry, a smidgen too juicy, but well rounded, no earth, a tad hot but not like a California Pinot would be.
