Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir is classic New Zealand Pinot, dark and delicious with a seaplane full of coffee and tea notes. The nose is as earthy and solid as you could want, which is an unusual attraction for someone like me. I generally like my Pinot more on the elegant side, but this isn’t really brawny - it’s brainy. The palate is youthful without being obnoxious, dark, not devilish. A finish that lingers well is much appreciated.

Enjoyed this wine. Love how the NZ Pinot has so much more depth than the AU variety.
