Good Pinot Noir from Marlborough. Typical bouquet of ripe strawberries, underbrush with some hints of red flowers and bloody meat. A definite surprise is a fresh (aka not tired) mouthfeel. Good balance and structure. Ripe and medium-light body. Flavours of ripe strawberries, raw meat and tomato stem. Did I mention a good price?

Wine #5 on Norm Wines Vol. 1.

I have a confession to make. In December, we finished 22 bottles of this wine. This is exactly the style of wine that I love to drink on a daily basis. Typical NZ Pinot Noir. Ripe strawberries, underbrush and raw meat. Medium-light, juicy and slightly mineral. Lovely. It’s a shame that the 5+1 offer is over.
