Wooing Tree Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Bob Campbell MW "Appealing, aromatic Pinot Noir, with almost lush plum and berry fruit flavours together with spice, anise and a suggestion of fresh herbs. Fine, peppery tannins give the wine a gentle backbone."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A youthful core aroma of red cherry and wild berries followed by  a crushed stone mineral quality and fine toasty barrel spice highlights. Even more youthful on the palate, a wine with time on its side but not without  a decent combination of texture and core fruit flavours. Firm tannins and medium+ acid line, lighter weighted with a fine savoury complexity and decent length."

The winery writes "Ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and maturation in French oak have resulted in a complex and powerful wine, with aromas of dark cherry and chocolate, with a rich and silky smooth palate and a long spicy finish. A great example of one of the best Central Otago Pinot Noirs. Excellent value, drinking fantastically well now and will develop and cellar for several years."
