High Garden Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021, Gibbston, Central Otago

Pure fruited, complex, youthful, varietal and very seductive. Floral and fresh, aromas of red cherry and sweet raspberry, layers of dried herbs, wild red flowers, a schist or rocky eath quality then barrel spices of cinnamon and clove with some vanilla highlights. Delicious on the palate though also very taut and youthful as well. Firm tannins and plenty of acidity lay down the foundation with a core of red berry fruits and spices to reflect the bouquet and ensure concentration for bottle development. Delicious, new and complex. Best dirking from 2023 through 2030+.
