Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandBig strawberry, black cherry, and cherry pits mingle with sweet baking spices in this well balanced, very smooth red, with touches of wood and some light tannic friction. The pinot clones involved here are mostly clone 5 along with Dijon clone 667. Vinified partially whole cluster, it was fermented with native yeast and spent 14 months in 30% new French oak barriques.Tasted: 27 February 2025Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:
