Wine: Soderberg Homeblock 2012 Pinot Noir
Awarded: Elite Bronze (2014)
Region: Marlborough
Website: http://soderbergwines.co.nz/
Notes: A superbly elegant example of Blenhiem Pinot Noir. Ripe cherry, and dark raspberry flavours shine through, set against a smoke/toast oak. Herbaceous hints of oregano, and olives unfold, along with floral nuances. Fine grain tannins. A small production vineyard ensures a high demand for this bottle, highly recommended.
Drinking well now, cellar until 2020.
