2008 White Label Marlborough Pinot Noir
Tasting Note
Fruit sourced from our Stone Creek vineyard, Rapaura, has been expertly moulded into a well rounded, approachable Pinot Noir.

Aromas of black cherry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, dark-chocolate and subtle herbal notes present themselves assertively.

On the palate, blackcurrants and cranberry predominate, with notes of iced-tea, tobacco leaf and cocoa. Medium bodied, and lengthy, it is well suited as a pairing to tomato-based pasta and tangy cheeses.

May be cellared for up to five years from bottling date.
