"Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir exudes gorgeous violets, red roses and black cherry notes with underlying Provence herbs, dusty earth and cinnamon stick hints. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm backbone of ripe, velvety tannins with lively acid supporting the concentrated, multi-layered flavors, finishing long.

“Juicy and plush, with wild strawberry and maraschino cherry flavors, accented by a mix of sage and shite pepper details. Shows a supple texture and plenty of finesse on the detailed finish.” Wine Spectator

Bright red cherry colour with a crimson hue.  Seductive aromas of dark cherry, dried rose petals, thyme and damp earth.  Beautifully varietal, elegant and long on the palate.  Medium weight red fruit richness and fine-grained tannins are drawn out long across the palate by acidity to create a finish which is savoury and dry. 13.8% alc.

1 x Ant Moore Marlborough Pinot Noir

awarded 90/100 Points: Sam Kim Wine Orbit

awarded 18/20 points: Raymond Chan

"Richly fruited and savoury at the same time, the engaging bouquet shows Black Doris plum, game, earthy mushroom and dark leather notes. The palate shows lovely fruit weight and intensity, beautifully structured by fine/firm tannins. Brooding and flavoursome, and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Blackberry, plum, pepper, liquorice and leather are great descriptors for this wine.  Subtle oak and full tannin structure gives roundness which lingers on the palate.

This wine was a pleasure to make, having access to high quality impeccable fruit makes the winemaking easy and very enjoyable to make.
