Critic tasting note: "Although CB made its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc, the Pinot Noir is finally achieving a similar level of quality. Dark cherry fruit is couched in notes of sandalwood, cinnamon and clove, framed by tannins that are silky without being excessively soft. Drink now–2016." - 91/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Winemaking
-
All fruit was de-stemmed into open top stainless steel tanks and, after a pre-fermentation cold soaking period of several days, the fermentations started with naturally occurring yeast. The caps were plunged during fermentation to aid colour and flavour extraction. Following an average period of three weeks on skins, the batches were drained and lightly pressed before being transferred into French oak barrels, approximately half of which were new. Malolactic fermentation was complete by early summer.

- Ageing
-
After nearly a year ageing in oak, the individual components were blended in late February and the wine was then lightly fined with egg whites for clarity prior to bottling in June 2010.

NOSE: Both pure and complex revealing aromas of strawberries, earthy fresh mushrooms and smoky spice. PALATE: Finely balanced, with a vibrant core of red fruits clad in a silky, luscious lining. A subtle textural chalkiness and fine grained tannins.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2009 New Zealand vintage was overall good.
In Hawke's Bay, a balmy spring led to an early budburst and flowering followed by an extremely hot growing season, which saw little rain. The harvest was largely a success and the resulting wines were rich and fruit-forward....
