Classic. Ripe but lean. Bit stem my but full on the palate. And not super pricey at all for Central Otago. Yum!

Smell of forest floor and mushrooms, taste of smoke and BBQ. Wanted more from the finish.

Lucious pinot noir, perfect for a summer night at wolf trap. Great pairing with prosciutto and cantaloupe.
