PINOT NOIR 2012
Balance and elegance define this Pinot Noir. With beautiful aromas of red and dark fruit, notes of violets, spice and cedar oak, this delicious wine leads to concentrated dark plum with subtle hints of spice and leather on the palate. A medium-bodied, complex Pinot Noir, with silky tannins, good persistence and length.

AWARDS & REVIEWS
PURE ELITE GOLD – Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2013
Delectable and seductive, showing dark cherries and game with excellent weight
DECANTER 90+/100 pts
Ripe cherry nose with hints of rose petals. Good concentration on the palate with flavours of liquorice and a savoury herb nuances. This is a gutsy yet balanced Pinot with excellent grip
94 / 100 pts
This has an upbeat, red-fruit style to it. The oak makes a cedary, almost chalky impression on the nose, too: very young and tight. The palate has supple fruit, really brightly captured; it needs time to unfurl as oak has it on lock-down for the time being. Great wine here, with tannins mapping out a classy future. Drink in 2016.
