A Pinot Noir from North Canterbury – certified organic and biodynamic fruit from the producer’s Home Vineyard. A mid-ruby red colour in the glass. A smoky, floral and fruity perfume floats from the glass, with elements of cherry, raspberry, cassis, cloves, cinnamon and violets and lilac florals. A backbone of chalky tannin and minerality, shows off the purity of fruit and a sense of raw, unpolished, almost rustic, integrity. The spice and savoury notes combine well – that aroma returning at the dry, lengthy finish. 92pts
