Initial attack is closed, acidic - cranberries and sour cherries. Some air opens it up to ripe raspberries, strawberries with slight sappiness and a dusting of cinnamon spice. Acid is ever present, balanced and tannins are powdery and not overbearing. Silky, supple texture and medium long finish. Lacks some concentration for me - flavours painted in watercolour, to quote a borrowed line.

Medium intensity nose of red berries. Sour cherries, strawberries and a hint of sappiness on the palate with medium+ acid and fine dusty tannins. Medium- body, silky texture. Towards the fruit end of Pinots, not in your-face like Central Otago. Well balanced and good length.
