Pyramid Valley Vineyards Earth Smoke Pinot Noir 2016
Red
Waipara Valley, New Zealand
7.1
WineSaint
Savory and mineral-driven with blackberry and wet earth complexity. The palate shows good concentration through the mid-section, but the wine feels somewhat muted and lacks the vibrancy to fully showcase Waipara's distinctive terroir. Structured tannins suggest cellaring potential.
