Tried on the @loveblockwine PinotNoir for the 1st time tonite. Paired it to my Gr Chile Chx Chili & the pairing was spot on!
Here's what I ❤️'d about this wine: The dk lusty aromas of blk cherry, cinnamon & cassis. And the wine's fresh rspbry, mulled strwbry, dried basil, zip of licorice & textured spice box mouthfeel. Easy to drink & a fab pairing to a Sunday night in, #valentinesday & more.
What I didn't like: The pricepoint😕 On the shelf for $37. A wine I wouldn't pay much more than $25 for. In the end, a nice lil NZ sipper, just a wee over priced.

Little drier and more acidic than I usually like.

Tasty, but the value is questionable. A touch expensive.

Nice Otago Pinot Noir. Raspberries, cinnamon and wild mushrooms with a tart strawberry finish.

Pretty nice Pinot, from New Zealand. Paired well with charcuterie and dark chocolate. And I love the label!

Quite a nice balance of black cherry, mushrooms, dried rosemary/basil, and toast.
