Monte Christo Winery Pinot Noir 2022, Central Otago

Ripe, fruity and varietal with an enticing bouquet of red berries and mineral soil, layers of new wood and baking spices from some new-ish oak use, there’s a light toasty quality as well. Youthful and engaging overall. A dry wine with barrel spices and core of vairteal fruits touch the palate all at once. Finesse from tannins and textures of fine grain and acidity add mouthfeel and a youthful texture. Still taut needing some settling time in cellar with best drinking likely from 2027 through 2035+.
