Wine: Richmond Plains Pinot Noir 2013
Awarded: Silver (2014)
Region: Nelson
Notes: A bright, medium bodied Pinot Noir. Ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry in aroma, and on the palate. Savoury notes in the form of mushroom and hints of herb create depth and complexity. Velvety fine grain tannins, and a long, sweet, ripe cherry finish. Drinks well now, however flavours will continue to unfold with careful cellaring until 2018-2020.
