$22, 5 stars, 90 points, marlborough, new zealand, pinot noir
Medium ruby colored with medium viscosity (14% ABV). Medium (+) intensity aromas of barnyard, roses, baking spices, dusty bramble, cherry and black raspberry. On the palate it is dry with medium acidity, medium (-) tannins and a medium body. I get flavors of funky barnyard, cherry, raspberry, roses and deft oak that lead to a medium length finish. 90 points from me for this $22 effort makes it a 5 star wine. Drink till 2028. (It got 86 pints on release but I feel it has developed nicely, if you like a meatier, heavier style of Pinot with lashings of oak). Salut….
