Pegasus Bay Aged Release Pinot Noir 2011, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury

Integrated, complex, varietal and enticing with an exotic perfume of barrel and fruit spices, secondary fruit aromas and primary fruit highlights. Equally complex on the palate with a continuing integration package of flavours and textures. Drying plum and end of season cherry flavours, moments of fresh raspberry and cherry, roses, savoury spice and dried herb layers. Tannins are integrating well showing a fine chalky texture. Acidity sits t medium still providing back bone and bite. A balanced and well made wine with a core of fruit and textures, lengthy finish and complexity. Best drinking upon purchase and through 2025.
