Jackson Estate

Jackson Estate ‘Somerset Single Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2013 Waihopai Valley

Ripe, fruity and fleshy aromas of red and dark cherry with some spicy plum tones and brown oak spice layers, quite complex and engaging aromatics. On the palate – still very youthful with a seesaw oak fruit effect enhanced by firm tannins and medium+ acidity; the oak is still quite fresh showing a youthful tension and poise across the palate softened by ripe fruit then savoury brown spices; lengthy finish, youthful and well made. Drink now if decanted otherwise from 2018 through 2026+.
