PINOT NOIR 2021 X 3

100% Pinot Noir from Te Muna valley Martinborough

10 months in aged french barrel

Ripped plum, dates and tabacco in the nose

Notes of dark cherry, plum, blackberry, violet and rose typical from Te Muna following with spices, white pepper, well integrated young tannin long and persistant on the palate.

“Varietal bouquet with dark fruits of plums and then raspberry and moments of black cherry. Layers of oak then flowers emerge after some time in glass. Firm and dry as the wine touches the palate with chalky dusty tannins, a back bone of acidity and layers of lees, nut and oak. A youthful and very promising example, well made with a lengthy finish. Best drinking from 2025 through 2030+. Before then some food with obvious protein will pair well. 93 Points Excellent” Cameron Douglas
