Rippon Vineyard
Mature Vine Lake Wanaka Pinot Noir
Otago, South Island, New Zealand
On the nose, red perfumed florals, dark cherries, cherries, strawberry preserves, cherries and pomegranate. On the palate, cherries, dark cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, fragrant florals for days, nice soft spices, cinnamon, vanilla, powdery tannins & minerality. The fruits brighten and the spices grow on the long polished rounded acid finish. Photos one shows their low yields and photo two shows the staff enjoying second breakfast.

Very nice CO PN w strawberries but more wild raspberries n a minerality. Very stringent. Developes in glass to leather, with fruit still there.

Nice structure. Lovely Central Otago Pinot. Very French in its refinement and balance.

Earthy and anise nose. Medium-plus body, bright plum fruit with nice mineral density and savory tones and herbs. Smooth tannins build, with long glycerine-like finish. A kind of dry orange peel flavor (probably a better description, just can't define) that was nice. Very smooth and complex.
