The early promise shown by Cloudy Bay's incursion into Central Otago is finally being fulfilled, as the 2016 Te Wahi Pinot Noir is the best example yet to emerge from the company's Northburn vineyard. It shows delicate floral and herbal aromas, hints of tea and roses on the nose. It's big and expansive on the palate, delivering mouth-filling cherry fruit before finishing with crisp acids, silky tannins and a hint of mocha.

Made with fruit sourced from vineyards in Bendigo, Bannockburn and Lowburn sub-regions of Central Otago, the medium to deep ruby-purple-colored 2010 Te Wahi Pinot Noir flaunts an attractive nose of crushed blackberries and blueberries with a fragrant kirsch, underbrush and lavender undercurrent. Medium-bodied and showing a great intensity of red and black fruit flavors that are complimented by an appealing earthy complexity, it has a medium level of finely grained tannins partnered with refreshing acidity and a very lengthy finish. Drink it now to 2017+. Imported by Moet Hennessy USA, New York, NY
