Huia 2000 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)

Country: New Zealand /
Variety: Pinot Noir Marlborough
Winery: Huia /

Builds complexity through skillful layering of ripe black cherries, fresh greens (ferns or parsley stems), leather and earth. The mouthfeel is spot-on, rich and plush without seeming heavy. Tart cherry and dusty cocoa notes on the finish and a fine sense of balance make it drinkable now or in several years.
