Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2020

Country: New Zealand

Grape Varietal: Pinot Noir

Tasting Note:
Upon release the wine has a bright ruby hue.  The nose is layered and complex, with earthy notes of undergrowth, woodsmoke, truffle and pot pourri juxtaposed against dark cherry, cranberry, crushed lavender, and hints of clove.   In the mouth the wine is generously proportioned, polished tannins and a seam of refreshing acidity tap dancing cheekily across on a broad silky palate.  Fresh and vibrant yet concentrated, with a structured frame.  The finish is spicy, decadent, and sustained, leaving lingering impressions of velvety depth.

Food Pairing: Beef, Veal, Game(deer, venison), Poultry
