The push towards elegant/light wines - The start of a new direction in our wine journey? (Amara Sanctuary Resort): Tasted blind. Wonderful aromatic nose of sweet scented wood. On the palate, lots of red cherries, cranberries and raspberries. Rounded mouth-feel with some soft supple tannins towards the refreshing medium finish. Fruit-forward and hiding nothing. Lack of complexity made me guess New World Pinot Noir. Really liked the nose of this, hence the points.

Smell has that earthiness of a traditional pinot. Strawberry jam notes. Pleasant and enjoy able. Solid double yum

Light to medium body. Very cherry nose. Cherry, Cranberry, linzer tart flavor. Nice drinking wine, but simple and a bit monolithic.

Clean, fresh NZ fruit. With some structure and darkness. Clean, well made, if pretty straight ahead. At $24 it works it out.
