Wairau River Pinot Noir 2022

__
Wairau River's Estate Pinot Noir is bright raspberries and red cherries combined with savory oak (from spending 9 months in French barriques) making it extremely approachable, bright and easy drinking.

Like the turn of a pepper grinder, this is full of fresh white pepper aromas, laced with pomegranate, red berry and anise, with a cool stone nuance. The palate is vibrant and fresh with a tug of savory tannins and lovely tangy red berries. There’s a lightness here that provides ease, and a quiet power that adds complexity, all at an affordable price.

Earth tones and dusty red tea gratify, surrounded by red cherry cola. Bright cranberry seasoned with cinnamon emerges midway and lasts through the finish.
