Wine Review: This bright red colored Pinot Noir from New Zealand opens with an attractive ripe wild strawberry bouquet with a hint of cola. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, juicy and fruit forward. Like the nose the flavors are ripe strawberry with notes of mild minerality and cola. I also detected hints of red plum and cinnamon. The finish is dry and subtle. This fruity Pinot will pair well with bruschetta. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This bright and expressive Pinot leads with dark cherry, plum and undertones of thyme characters. Toasted oak notes impart a nice mouthfeel against the generous palate through a long finish. Undeniably approachable and will mature gracefully over the next ten years.
