Mills Reef Winery Reserve Pinot Noir 2019, Marlborough

Ripe, fresh, youthful, fruity and very engaging with aromas of plums and cherries, smoky sweet wood aromas with brown spices of cinnamon, vanilla and a whisper of clove. On the palate - fresh, youthful and fresh with a crunchy texture from firm tannins and medium+ acidity then flavours of red berry fruits and plums, some raspberry and red apple notes. There’s enough new wood flavour and bite to warrant some cellar time. Balance should arrive by early 2022, is a well made example and destined to suit a range of food. Best from late 2021 through 2025.
