Matua Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Vibrant cherry red in color, the nose exhibits sweet red berry fruit and perfumed floral aromas. The palate is soft, with sweet confectionary 'strawberries and cream' fruit balanced nicely with spicy toasted oak and fine tannins. The resulting palate has a delicate structure with length and complexity.

This wine starts pretty and lifted, full of bright fruits, florals and holiday spices—think blueberry, strawberry, rose, clove and cracked pepper. The palate gets a little more serious, thanks to a tight grip of leathery tannins and lifted acidity that hold together bundles of juicy fruit.
