Juicy and tannic. Very good, surprisingly so.

Savory, menthol with red cherry, raspberry, ripe strawberry, pomegranate juice, licorice, cinnamon, clove, med plus tannin and dry.

Revisit 2 days later. Display red cherry, dried or even cooked strawberry, dried cranberry, ripe pomegranate, licorice, violet, all spice, and nutmeg. Taste all the fruit but it’s actually dry on the palate. Med plus tannin. Med plus finish. Tasted better with food, especially with mushroom.

Cherry lolly, with some mineral notes on the finish. The alcohol is a bit clunky.

blend from across the vineyards. Cropped at 2 bottles per vine. Very red fruited, quite ripe in places. Smoky in places. Quite vibrant acid. No cold soaking (as it gives more heady floral notes and colour). No stems. Light grippy tannins. Good quality, slight savoury smoky finish

A bit thin and tannic, very little fruit — not a fan

Lovely, earthy, and just fruity enough. I love NZ Pinot Noir! #swc #sortingtable
