Wine Review: This garnet-colored Pinot Noir from New Zealand opens with cinnamon and mulberry bouquet with hints of pencil lead and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel round and zesty. The flavor profile cedar influenced black raspberry and rhubarb blend with notes of clove, black pepper, and cinnamon. We also detected hints of graphite and black tea. The finish is dry, and its acidity and its rustic dusty tannins are extended. We would pair this Pinot with a salmon burger or a slow cooker beef brisket with barbecue sauce. Enjoy - Ken & Rick

Winemaker Notes: Freshly squeezed cherries and plums, our Estate Pinot Noir is flush with abundant aromas of dark red fruits and a licorice undercurrent. Exuberant and densely concentrated, the lively palate has notes of cherry liqueur and macerated plums which are all bound together with firm, textural tannins.
