Sonnet by Eaton Definition Pinot Noir 2021. Marlborough
Complex and intriguing, layers of spice and mineral, wild flowers and botanicals then red fruits of cherry and raspberry flesh, some red apple skin and red tea. Taut, youthful and poised as the wine touches the palate. Fruit flavours repeat first then textures from tannins and acidity layer in a youthful power. Flavours of toasty baking spices and exotic fruit teas follow. A youthful wine still needing some development time, natural flavours driving the core message with a judicious approach to oak use. Right on the finish the fleshy saline qualities kick in adding length and intrigue. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035.
