Country: New Zealand / Pahi Single Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Martinborough
Winery: Escarpment /
“Delicate” is how owner-winemaker Larry McKenna describes Pahi, and that seems apt. It’s smoky and vaguely herbal, hinting at tomato, then offers cherry fruit and soft, gentle tea-like tannins that turn silky on the finish. Drink now–2021.
