2019 Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir Marlborough

Winemaker's Notes: Dark on the nose, with appealing aromatics of black cherry and bramble fruit. The palate reveals layers of florals, gentle spice, melding with notes of boysenberry and doris plum and frames by finely realized, silky tannins and juicy acidity. A balanced and lively expression of Pinot Noir from the Marlborough region.

Enjoy this wine alongside proscuitto on ciabatta bread or Furneaux double cream with walnuts.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "A creamy and delicious pinot with sliced strawberry, dark cherry, lemon rind and other citrus fruit. Crushed-stone undertones. It’s full-bodied, but not heavy. Lovely texture and a succulent finish. Drink or hold. "


Wine Spectator - "Impressive, with terrific intensity and purity to the core of black cherry, spiced plum and wild berry flavors. Reveals accents of clove, toasted cumin, cardamom and chai tea that linger on the long, expressive finish."
