Much better than the Escarpment IMHO. Lovely perfumed nose, with red fruits, pepper and smokey noted. The palate is smooth, well integrated, with a nice long finish.

A well crafted and very typical Central Otago Pinot. Cherry dominant with a hint of strawberries. Unfortunately this just isn't my style of wine or a wine region that I am excited by.

The second day it was warmer and had more exposure to air and had opened up nicely.
