The new label from Takahiro Koyama, using fruit from the Pearson Vineyard he\u2019s taken before (for the Koyama wines) from the Waipara Valley. The new label is adorned with an ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a dragon consuming its own tail, representing rebirth or renewal. If you\u2019ve followed the story, you\u2019ll know that Takahiro\u2019s time making wine in NZ has had its challenges!\u00a0The wine is a ruby-crimson in the glass, with energetic, enticing aromas of cranberry, cherry, cinnamon, woody herbs, plum, acacia and lilac. Great Pinot typicity, there\u2019s a youthful bounce into the palate, where a surge of fruit meets the core of pliable tannin and integrated acidity. Textured and gently spiced, this drinks very well now, but has a long future if cellared properly. 94pts<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
