Tasting note
Fresh and vibrant, with licorice-scented plum and blackberry flavors, and a velvety core that firms up on the finish. Details of sage and loam add extra dimension. Drink now. Score - 90. (MaryAnn Worobiec, winespectator.com, March 31, 2017)
Under the cherry-red colour, the nose is medium and complex. Enjoy this dry, medium-bodied and fruity red featuring refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases smooth tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish.

Here is a fresh style with good Pinot Noir character, which offers cherry and raspberry, white pepper and delicate spice with cedarbox, carrot tops and the expected forest floor notes. It’s approachable and juicy with silky fruit, cocoa and fine spices lingering across the finish.
Oyster Bay Marlborough is an elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir at its best. Floral and cherry, with juicy, black plum and violet nuances carried by a lingering texture, this pairs well with salmon or duck.
