Great value in Pinot Noir. Bing Cherry and fresh, bracing acidity standing side-by-side with nice texture and a lean mouthfeel. Not Cali Pinot Noir, nor Burgundy, no Oregon, but a great expression of the NZ Marlborough Terroir. $22.99 OH Retail

Fairly big nose of cherry, anise and some tar - which was my favourite part of this wine. Taste of cherry, slight raspberry, some mineral, little spice, little salt.. Thin body almost tastes watery at times. Fairly high acidity. A bit of heat on the finish which surprised me as this was listed as being 13% ABV.

A really forward nose of red fruit and spice without too much of the overpowering red cherry that this region and price bracket sometimes has. A masculine and funky palette with lashings of dark cherry and almost no tannins, but with complexity and depth. A little bit if heat at first, but a lovely acid profile and a lingering finish.

On the paler side for Pinot, quite acidic, distinct and elegant.

Aromas of brambly black fruit, mint and tar. Flavors are fresh, with dark brambly berry. Squirrelly stuff.
