Ripe and spicy. A bit much oak for my taste but nice acid and minerality.

Excellent craft producer in NZ, he has several single vineyard Pinots. Has enough body to balance out the spice that can sometimes be overpowering in these varietals. Thank you to the sommelier at Botswana Butchery in Queenstown who took on my challenge of “Find me a Pinot for those who don’t like Pinot”!

Mineraly, characteristics similar to a Burgundy rather than an Oregon Pinot, and delightful for that reason. Medium body.
