Villa Maria Taylors Pass Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021, Marlborough

An excellent bouquet with varietal ripe scents of dark cherry and fleshy Doris plums, layers of spices from soil and French oak build complexity and power. Youthful, complex and new. A dry wine with a fleshy core touches the palate first, wood spices of vanilla and clove then roasted nut follow. There’s a taut, dry and youthful squeeze accentuated by the acidity with tannins adding texture and length. Nicely complex and dry a wine ready for drinking from late 2024 through 2032+.
