High Garden Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022, Gibbston, Central Otago

There’s no mistaking the power and concentration of fruit in this - the third release from this producer. A mix of ripe dark red cherry and baked raspberry fruit scents layered between dried herb and wood smoke, mineralised stony soil suggestions and baking spices of barrel. Taut, new, salivating, fresh and tannin textured as the wine touches the palate. Flavours of plums, cherry and dark berries, an abundance of fine long-chain tannins, a lengthy acid touch town and plush harmonious finish. An excellent example perfect for venison, or lamb, myriad vegetarian dishes and end even baked salmon with tapenade. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035.
