Deeply coloured and oozing rich dark fruit – a virtual bowl of ripe black cherries, blackberries topped with a dollop of grandma’s homemade plum jam. An opulent interpretation of Marlborough pinot layered with evocative fragrances of cloves, star anise, tea smoke and a hint of gaminess. The palate is generous with ripe fruit, fine tannins and a delicious spicy finish.

Interesting aromas of flint, graphite, dried strawberries and dark cherries that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a fresh and linear finish. A little reserved now, but will open nicely with time. Try after 2026. Screw cap.

There’s plenty to admire in this red, with pure and generous notes of blueberry, marionberry and blackberry that are complemented by crushed pine needle, loam and black tea accents. Offers terrific structure, including a fresh thread of acidity. Drink now through 2035. 750 cases imported.
