"Te Wahi has lifted floral aromatics, hints of forest floor, graphite and five-spice characters on the nose. The palate delivers dark berry fruit and spice, succulence and generosity." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This shows plenty of fruit richness with darker cherries, toasted spices and earthy aromas, as well as some fresh violet-like florals, too. The palate is succulent, smoothly layered and has attractive tannins that build in layers to a smooth, pastry-like finish. Ready now." —James Suckling "A 50-50 blend of fruit from Northburn and Bannockburn (Cloudy Bay leases a portion of the Calvert Vineyard), the 2015 Te Wahi Pinot Noir is a full-bodied, plummy wine. It shows some pretty florals on the nose, but the palate is chocolaty and rich, offering hints of cola and dark-skinned plums. It's powerful and plush, with a velvety texture and lingering finish, almost verging on Californian (Russian River Valley?) in style." —Wine Advocate |
