Benchmark Wines
Criterion Collection Central Otago Pinot Noir
Central Otago, Otago, South Island, New Zealand
Light bodied, fruit forward. Tart, bordering on astringent. Distinct and stable flavor. Tastes good. Somehow it manages to avoid tasting sweet despite the fruity flavor.
Nothing wrong with it, I prefer a fuller body and a rounder taste, but this was a delightful experience.

Garnet-purple almost opaque.
Boysenberry, red currant, pomegranate, lightly herbaceous.
Austere with stem tannin astringency.
Built to last. Not to be drunk alone…yet. Should be great in 5 years:

Cherry candied campfire notes on smell that hints with a curiosity of depth. Light floral notes dance with the diversity of herbal and grounded flavors. Mild on alcohol forwardness showing mostly on finish. Puckery balanced sweetness invites exploration into the depths of one more sip. It’s enjoyable, light, and had an honest depth of if pinto noir while remain jovial light and spunky.
