Bright deep garnet. Aromas of ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice and leather, with a hint of smoky oak.
A full-bodied wine with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and a hint of savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky and linear tannin structure. Pairs well with venison, duck, game, roasted beetroot, rare and tender lamb, and earthy wild mushrooms.

: Juicy blackberry, blueberry and wild strawberry flavors are plump and ripe in this red, which offers notes of nutmeg, clove and cardamom, along with touches of black pepper and forest floor that linger on the long, plush finish. Drink now. 700 cases imported.—M.W.

The 2020 Marlborough Pinot Noir is a silky, supple little thing, with red apple skins, strawberry, red cherry and hints of exotic spice (sumac, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.) on the palate. The finish is firm and a little chewy (not a pejorative comment), but what this offers is classy and complete. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
