Tasting Notes

Detailed, with concentrated raspberry coulis and wild strawberry flavors. A crisp mineral edge and dried floral notes mix with spice, cedar and fresh earth accents, which crescendo on the long finish. Drink now through 2022.

Score: 89

The style of pinot that Cloudy Bay have set themselves up around is a bold, brassy and assertively oaked style but the bold and ripe brambly dark cherry fruits are up to the task. Then there's gentle citrus peel along with earth, spices and herbs. The tannins are strong but smooth, and there's plenty of freshness and energy on the palate. Flavoursome dark cherry fruits run deep. Drink in 2016.
