Jackson Estate 'Vintage Widow' Pinot Noir 2020, Marlborough

There’s no mistaking the varietal signature of dark red berry fruits framed by savoury spices. Aromas of dark cherry skin and plum then a mix of barrel smoke a stony earth layers. Youthful, vibrant and complex. On the palate flavours of purple berries and plum, some nettles and dried herb, clove and vanilla barrel spice and lots of texture. Tannins are ripe with some yet youthfully firm needing cellar time to soften; acidity adds to the impact of the tannins carrying the fruit flavours as well. A lovely wine with complexity and length. Best drinking from 2028 through 2035+.
