Inhale deeply, twigs and branches.
Light to medium body.
Classical forest, sweet cherry bark. Pomegranate, tart cherry, bacon fat, mint, bits of herb, and a lovely lightning bolt of acidity straight through the center of my tongue and lingering well into the next glass.
Central Otago Pinot. Yum.
This is what I want from a Pinot noir.

Light, soft, delicate light red florals, liquid violets, dark cherries, raspberries, strawberries, a bit of plum & blueberries and light soft spices on the nose. The body starts lean, thickens and gets darker with more tannin presence. The fruits are, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, Then come, strawberries, plum, dry cranberries and blueberries as it settles on palate. Very soft & delicate baking spices of, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and whispers of vanilla, light moist dark earth, shade's of soft silty chalkiness, mellow but bright acidity and a ripe, rich, polished finish. Beautiful Burgundian style. Top of the world Auckland.

A perfect summer evening BBQ, light with a nice earthy herb hiding underneath raspberry and cherry.

A solid pub wine. The actual Roaring Meg was more spectacular...
