2009 Mahi Pinot Noir

The fruit for this wine is sourced from four vineyards in the Wairau Valley of Marlborough, all contributing different characters to the finished wine resulting in greater overall complexity. Maturation took place in French oak for 11 months.

A top example of Marlborough Pinot Noir.
Semi translucent dark crimson red colour with brick red mauve hue. The nose displays perfumed aromas of violets and dark cherry followed by some anise and spicy cedar. Medium weight the palate delivers a rich and powerful flavour profile of dark cherry, anise and very ripe plum with a spicy back palate. Excellent power wave. Fine grained well integrated tannins with long aftertaste of dark cherry, anise and spice.
