Tasting Note: A complex nose of bergamot, dried lavender and petrichor overlays lush notes of dark cherries, plum and cacao. The dance of fruit generosity contrasts a spicy and taut savouriness. Fine chalky tannins frame the palate towards a lengthy finish. This wine speaks of its place from its north facing slope and clay soils of the Omaka Valley. The wine is sinewy, complex and vibrant. Delicious now, with patience it will continue to unfurl its secrets into the next decade. The wine comes from a small block of Pinot Noir grown in the Omaka Valley, near the end of Brookby Road. A gentle sheltered ridge on the eastern side of the valley slopes to the north and a few degrees west. Clay soils and Marlborough sunlight influence the vines, showcasing the classic Southern Valleys Pinot Noir character and tannin profile.
