The fruit for this Central Otago Pinot Noir comes from the company Bannockburn vineyards – 84% from Felton Terraces and 16% from Cairmuir. A deep burgundy-ruby colour in the glass. Floral, herbal and youthful on the nose, with aromas of thyme, lilac, pepper and black olive complementing the rich cherry, pomegranete and rosehip flavours. Well-structured and quite polished into the palate where spicy oak takes the lead, supported by fine tannin and juicy acidity. A silken texture also swaddles that succulence of dark fruit and spice – soft and accessible right away. The finish is smooth and decently long. 92pts
