Palliser Pencarrow Pinot Noir 2018

Sam Kim writes "Elegant yet flavoursome, this charming pinot shows dark cherry, raspberry, mixed spice and roasted nut characters on the nose with a subtle mushroom complexity. The palate is equally attractive with supple mouthfeel and juicy fruit intensity, beautifully complemented by silky texture and polished tannins."

The winery writes "The palate opens with a rush of raspberry, cherry and anise, an unmistakable Martinborough regional signature coming through in the sappy, savoury Pinot Noir characters. The mid-palate is garnished with fresh sage, adding complexity and interest to the mouthful of juicy summer red fruits. Beautifully fine and silky with a fresh and detailed acid line, the expressive fruit is buttressed firmly by a wall of finely rendered tannins. A juicy and expressive Pinot Noir with enough savoury interest to please even the most dedicated Pinot lover."
