Description Juicy and beautifully rounded (Wine Orbit) 91pt Pinot Noir from the excellent Brightwater Vineyards in sunny Nelson, in the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island. "More evidence that thoughtful pinot is a wonderful thing. The nose offers all manner of savoury delights, with hints of tomato plant, roasted nuts, new leather and mushroom. The palate is light in body but full in flavour, with the plentiful fruit balanced by a savoury complexity and some soft, subtle tannins that would make it a fine dining companion." (John Lehmann, The Australian). "Sweetly ripe and attractively fragrant on the nose with red cherry, thyme, roasted nut and warm spice aromas, leading to a finely flowing palate that's juicy and beautifully rounded. It's supple and elegantly flavoursome with spicy/savoury nuances, finishing long and silky. 91pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit)
