Mohua Pinot Noir 2016

Bursting with floral aromas and red cherry perfume. Rich and juicy with wild raspberry, black cherry and sweet spice flavors. A wonderful expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir. A round, luscious and fruit forward Pinot Noir with lots of flavors and lovely soft tannins.

This is a solid offering from Peregrine's second label. The nose is an exotic mix of cumin, orange peel, brambly fruit, floral potpourri and cola-oak nuances. The palate feels a little less cohesive but still delivers a silky texture and tangy berry fruit and spice ensconced in soft sinewy tannins. There's a good lick of oak here which rears up on the finish in particular.
