Catalina Sounds Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

• Cameron Douglas MS 92/100 review and link to his site below.

Catalina Sounds Tasting Notes:    Ruby red in colour, with a youthful brightness. Layered aromas of cassis, earthy spices, black tea, fresh toast and ripe plums give lead to the palate with finely powdered tannins, juicy red cherries and fleshy plum texture that finishes long with notes of dried cranberry and black tea. Written by winemaker Matt Ward  

Enjoy up to seven years after cellaring if properly stored. Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand

Food Match:    A delicious match for Crispy Duck pancakes, Grilled Quail, Pulled Pork or Seared Salmon with Barbeque Sauce and roasted beetroot

Reviews:

Cam Douglas Review:    A varietal lifted bouquet of fresh red cherry and red flowers, cranberry and fruit spice with a foundation stony mineral quality. Dry, firmly textured and new with flavours of fresh red berry, strawberry and cranberry, fine tannins and medium+ acid line, some baking spice from soil and wood then a light floral lift on the finish. A lighter bodied expression with best drinking from 2024 through 2028+.
