14.5% alcohol. marlborough, new zealand. aged in french barriques for 15 months and unfiltered.
i have precious little experience with pinot from this country. i understand this wine is made in miniscule quantities. i received it as a (thoughtful) gift.
nice balance in the wine. good purity of fruit. spices and sassafras with a satisfying finish. not a bottle i would seek out again; however, quite enjoyable to try.
