This Kiwi Pinot Noir shows a light tint and an earthy nose with a hint of black tea and herbs. It does not smell bombastic, but there’s more stuff there than the color might indicate. On the palate, dark fruit runs in front, with earth and spice in tow. Again, not a showoff, but heftier than Burgundy. It’s a real treat which should please Pinotphiles as well as those not so inclined.
