Dry yet fruitful. Smelling hints of copper in the aroma along with raspberries and oak. Cocoa hints as well.

They secured some of the best sites throughout Marlborough. They have been making Pinot noir since the late 1980s.

Hints of whole cluster, but not at all. Velvety and a hint of cola would have made me think RRV if I didn't know differently.
