Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

You would be very hard pressed to find many other Pinot Noirs at this price point that can hold a candle to this amazing find from Central Otago on New Zealand's south island. Grown at a very high elevation, this bottling maintains fabulous acidity which really lifts the wine and jumpstarts your appetite. Fresh cranberry, tart pomegranate, and red cherry fruit add up to a wonderful sweet and sour burst that makes the wine dance across the palate. Super vibrant and uplifting!
