Easy to drink, low acidity. Not much structure, red fruits, cherries, and raisins on the palate. Lots of oak. Lacks complexity, and I felt that the taste of the wine was somewhat diluted. There was an element of saltiness to it too. The finish was short and uninteresting. After 1-2 hours, it went downhill. You're better off buying an NZ Pinot Noir.

F1 2013 Finals on TV with potluck dinner (Pine Close): Very interesting nose of cantaloupe and papaya aromas. But the going was downhill thereafter. Oaken entry, smooth mid-palate but lacking in flavours. Some salty seaweed towards the finish which was short and abrupt.
