Stad-Ko Wines Arapai Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021, Martinborough
Youthful and taut closed bouquet, varietal and new. Aromas of fresh dark cherry flesh and a fine savoury seam leads to other aromas of wild red berries and plum then spice. The taut youthful expression in the bouquet carries through to the palate, but as the wine begins to unfold it showcases a decent varietal energy and core flavours that reflect the bouquet. The impact of oak is perfect providing a frame and staging rather than engine room grunt. Well made, new and needing some cellar time. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
