Waipara Hills Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
Leading on from the 2009, the 2010 once again has a lovely complexity of fruit and savoury characters. If allowed it can really open up in the glass and years.

Dark purple/garnet
NOSE
A wonderfully rich and, in some ways, rustic palate of earth, chocolate, spice and dark cherry aromas.

At about 15oC, or just below room temperature.
