The Ned Pinot Noir 2019
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandThis Marlborough pinot, from Marisco Vineyards in Waihopai Valley, overdelivers on its modest price tag, perhaps a reflection of the very good 2019 vintage. The fruit is ripe, concentrated, and well-defined, led by bright dark berries, which give this a real appeal. But there's depth, too, with a hint of spice and earth to add complexity. Even with that darker fruit profile, this is still fresh, juicy, and easy to enjoy on its own or paired with cedar-planked salmon.Tasted: 16 October 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $21.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
