Pale to mid crimson in colour. Lovely aromatics covering the spice spectrum, red flowers, mushroom, and herbs. A beautiful sweet spicy earthy palate. Elegant with underlying power - alluring. A very polished Pinot Noir. One of New Zealand ‘s best Pinots and not readily available in Australia but worth hunting down. Very impressive and great from the Zalto Burgundy glasses. Could be a Premier Cru from Vosne Romanee.

Pronounced nose of red fruits. Rose, strawberry, crush granite, black tea. Interesting pomegranate flavor on the palate. Beautifully balanced wine. Long finish.
