Handpicked Wines, Collection Series, Pinot Noir, Central Otago, 2016
Deeply flavoured with rich roasted elements, sharp spice, black cherry and papery dried leaf. Structure and heft with firm, ropey tannins. Strongly fruited with plenty of length and a bold personality. Big end of town Pinot, yet still manages to hod onto finesse.
