Where: Marlborough, New Zealand

What: Pinot Noir

Why: White pepper, dried lavender and spicy tobacco notes add aromatic lift to the core of dense currant and blueberry flavors, finishing with plentry of spice and Earl Grey tea accents. Hand harvested from hillside plantings of Pinot Noir. They were partially de-stemmed and fermented with wild yeasts in small oak cubes. Drink now through 2028.
