Dark ruby-purple color. Throughout you get notes of pure cherry and plum with a grainy minerality and subtle notes of coffee and hazelnut. Fine sharp tannins and fruit on the finish. Pleasant but doesn't hold much interest.

A bit of a dark, savory thing with flintiness (less fine) on the nose. this seems to indicate that these pns smooth out a bit with age. still broad across the palate, but smooth. the oak shows, there's sweetness here. quaffable, but not very distinctive, a little simple. 86

This is the wine that turned me on to Central Otago a year ago. I have yet to have a bad Pinot from that AVA. The nose on this is intoxicating. Tremendous bright red fruit and floral highlights that lift your spirit and your mind to etherial places.

Excellent body, nice finish. Scents of prunes.
