Made from organically grown grapes, this is one of the very few Marlborough Pinot Noirs to be bottled with a traditional cork. Moderately intense wine with a mix of cherry, plum and savoury (wood smoke, bacon fat) flavours. Classy, complex Pinot Noir.

Tasted: Jul 2011    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $30)
