Having spent a few days in New Zealand's Waipara district a few months ago, my love for Pinot from this region was rekindled. This second tier label release from Pegasus Bay is a beauty!
Waipara is a New Zealand region that doesn't get the kudos it deserves. Of late, I have been keenly looking for Waipara wines on the retail shelves here in Australia. The offerings are skinny admittedly, but today, I stumbled across this fabulous wine.
An alluring depth and density get your attention from the outset. Dark chocolate, some meatiness, puffs of earth and dried herbs reach out for an embrace and have me hooked. Dark cherry and plum fruits tick along without fuss yet command respect and attention. I love the depth and I love the width on offer - how good! Drying and powdery like tannins casually brush themselves through the mouth and flag the need for another sip or three. Oh, what the heck... Gimme another glass! Big love!
Drink to eight years.
