Nobilo Pinot Noir Icon Series 2016

Oak dominates the nose at first in all its charred, minty, downright woody power, but with some swirling in glass, bramble berries eek out as well. Soft tannins combine with rather harsh acidity emphasizing the oak, resulting in a sharp-edged palate with just enough cherry cola notes to hold it all in place.

Nobilo Icon Pinot Noir represents the pinnacle of our winemaking sourcing from our “Ballochdale” vineyard in the Awatare valley of Marlborough. The style of wine is focused on fruit intensity and balance.

A rich mouth filling Pinot Noir with enticing red berry flavors like ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums with lingering flavor. A complex wine with integrated oak and velvety tannins.

Perfect with a rack of lamb and excellent with richly flavored seafood dishes, especially tuna and salmon.
