Saint Clair Family Estate – Pioneer Block 5 – Pinot Noir 2013 – Bull Block – Marlborough, Omaka Valley

The nose is fruity, aromatic, relatively fine and offers a small concentration. It reveals slight notes of cassis, cassis bud, blackberry and blueberry combined with a touch of liquorice, Ceylon tea as well as a hint of gray pepper and a grilled touch. The palate is fruity, mineral, “clean”, straight, well-defined, well-built and offers a quite silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and cassis combined with slight notes of black cherry, a discreet note of purple fig and small touches of liquorice. Good length. Tannins are well built.
