First New Zealand Pinot...really enjoyed it! Light body and finish, but very flavorful and a bit spicy.

Nice black cherry finish, with a hint of spice.

My bottle was a wee bit fizzy and was pretty sharp and zippy. When I unscrewed the top, a tiny whoosh of air came out. I suspect it underwent some secondary fermentation in the bottle.
