Cranberries, jammy red fruit, eucalyptus, vanilla. High alcohol, medium minus body, and good acidity.

Aug 9th, 2015Warm cranberry, light cherry and spice on the nose. Juicy and persistent on the palate with cherry berry flavor a accented with spice. Doesn't have that stewed quality that can plague other NZ Pinots.
