Wine Review: I’m finding that New Zealand is progressing with regards to its Pinot Noir offerings. This wine was a nice balance between quality and price point. The wine opens with a nice fruit bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and nicely balanced. This is a nice Pinot Noir to enjoy with a meal. If you have not tried a New Zealand Pinot Noir, this is a good one to start with. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Intense aromas of black cherries and stewed plums with a hint of raspberry. This wine is lightly oaked and has a lightly peppery finish.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Pinot Noir.
