A very light Pinot Noir with a thin body. A fruity and fresh nose. The taste is very smooth with a pleasing minerality and a lot of fresh fruit flavor. A clean finish has you wanting more. Recommended to serve slightly chilled, as the alcohol become more pronounced as it warms up and some of the more subtle flavours and smoothness are lost.

Aroma: Cool climate Pinot, very fruity, white pepper, mineral, menthol, ballpark hot dog (?), mushrooms.
Taste: raspberry, cranberry, cocoa, soft tannins, heat from 13.5% alcohol.

Medium body, fruity. Pleasantly peppery aromas. Good price for table wine. Just bought a case for Thanksgiving.

Not bad, but not exactly meeting my expectations for NZ Pinot after tasting a few on Air NZ. A little thin - A deep dive will be necessary.

2011 vintage - cherries, cocoa, some spice and cedar. A little age has done it well.

Pale, brown red. Lovely Pinot Noir. Light, crisp and easy to drink. Was (unexpectedly) lovely to have with steak. #redwine #newzealand #pinotnoir
