Catalina Sounds, Marlborough, Pinot Noir 2023

Tasting Notes:    Ruby red, with a youthful brightness. Layered aromas of cassis, earthy spices, black tea, fresh toast and ripe plums give the 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. Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand

REVIEWS:

Cameron Douglas MS 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 the best drinking from 2024 through 2028+.
