Winemaker Notes
This wine is a blend of two of our estate vineyards and also a combination of clones. With careful vineyard management, the crops are kept low to intensify flavor and extract color. The Pinot Noir is fermented, pressed off and aged in French oak for about 9 months, then bottled. The aim with this wine is to be more fruit driven whilst retaining the inherent characteristics of Pinot Noir.

A crisp and juicy mix of strawberry, rhubarb and cherry flavors, lightly spiced with cinnamon and accented by fresh loamy earth, mineral and tobacco hints. Harmonious and supple, with a lovely, lingering finish. Drink now through 2023.

There is no doubting that the 2013 Wairau River Pinot Noir is prime example of the grape variety on the label. Showing strawberries and earth in its aromas and flavors, this wine looks like a fine pairing candidate with grilled lamb. Drinking well now. (Tasted: August 8, 2016, San Francisco, CA)
