Very pleased with myself for guessing this blind (got the producer although I thought it was a 2012), even though it's practically unmistakeable. Textbook light strawberry jam with powerful raspberries and sweet cherries on the nose. Typical NZ Pinot - as far from the Burgundian examples of the grape as you can get. Far from complex but a very good accompaniment to home-made pizza!

Delicious spicy earthy goodness that dispels any preconceived notions of NZ Pinots.
