"This wine is a positive evolution of this entry level Pinot Noir style. Fruit driven, with a dominance of classic cherry and red berry characters supported with hints of oak spice adding a touch of complexity over the fi ne velvet structure. True Pinot Noir typicity."

(Winemaker's Notes)

This is an excellent example of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with classic gooseberry notes intermingled with bright citrus and leafy aromas. The palate is bright yet nicely balanced with a generous finish.

"Opulent aromas of dark plums and cardamom spice are enhanced by the earthy scent of liquorice and hints of smoky oak. The palate is highly concentrated with black cherry and red berry flavours supported by silky tannins through to a long and generous finish. The Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir reflects an idyllic Marlborough vintage and will continue to gain additional complexity over 4 – 5 years if cellared in ideal conditions."
