Tasting Notes

The 2015 Pinot Noir has a pleasant wild strawberry and cranberry bouquet with nicely integrated oak. The palate is fresh on the entry and a little denser than the 2015, displaying grainy tannin and gentle grip on the off-dry, peppery finish. Fine.

The medium to full-bodied 2015 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir offers up aromas of roses, ripe cherries, crushed stone and subtle hints of pencil shavings. Despite 31% whole clusters and 19% new oak, neither is readily apparent on the nose at this stage. On the palate, there's a sense of restrained fruit coupled with wiry, herbal, tea-like nuances that add complexity and texture, extending through a long, silky finish. This remarkable property remains at the forefront of Central Otago Pinot Noir producers.

A nice evolution is in play. This wine is gathering power and finesse simultaneously, becoming more and more defined. Super fragrant strawberry and red cherry fruits on the nose with some meaty, spicy elements adding interest. The palate is lacy and enticing, with a core of vibrant strawberry and red cherry flavor. Fne tannins sweep long and even. A wine that delivers both pleasure and a sense of purpose. Drink now.

Mid ruby. Gentle, settled, easy fruit. Really very nice confident undertow. Macerated gypsy-cream biscuits – in a good way! Real focus and pleasure.
