Vanillan oak notes dominate on this Pinot Noir, originating from Nelson, on the northwest of New Zealand's South Island. Red berry, licorice, and savory olive characters follow, along with chunky tannins and lashings of acidity. Stylistically this is a broody, oaky, powerful expression of Pinot and one that will need food or a few years in bottle for the oak to mellow out. Drink now–2022. Christina Pickard
