Cheap Pinot but not bad, good earthy tones, bit of rubber and strawberries

Mellow, easy to drink, well rounded, chill wine. Ate with fish, but may be better with white sauce pasta or desert.

Has some spice but almost a watery finish. Fine for drinking casually.

For my first NZ Pinot I selected a value bottle. The flavors were okay. Not too hot however I think there was too much extraction. Oak chips were present. There was a little earth in the mid palate.
