Kimura Cellars Pinot Noir 2020, Marlborough

Very bight ruby core with a youthful hue of purple leading to a light pink rim.

The bouquet showcases aromas of a fresh, young and vibrant wine with scents of red plum, cherry and red currant with a whisper of red apple skin. Aromas of wood begin to emerge as the wine opens up in glass and becomes ambient. Overall a bright youthful, varietal and fruit centric beginning. Equally youthful on the palate with flavours that mirror the nose, fine tannins with light chalky texture, acidity and alcohol along with a moderate weight are balanced and in harmony. The measure of oak is perfect layering complexity and texture. Overall a lovely youthful expression. Best drinking from mid to late 2022 through 2028+.
