Wine Review: This slightly cloudy and dark red colored Pinot Noir from Central Otago in New Zealand is terrific. It opens with a pleasant red plum and red currant bouquet with a hint of rose pedal. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced and refined. The flavor profile is a tasty mild black raspberry and clove blend with notes of Clark’s teaberry gum. There are hints of cinnamon, refined minerality and herbal tea in background. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away slowly. This elegant Pinot Noir is delightful. I would pair it with beef carpaccio and good friends! Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Layers of interest with aromatics of red currant, bright cherry and floral notes underpinned by savory hints of tea, earth, and fern. The palate is vibrant and focused, supported with seamless balance and finesse. Lovely integration and flow with polished tannins that lend persistence through the palate. Cellaring potential of 8-10 years.
