Tasting Notes:
The Cloudy Bay Te Wahi Pinot Noir 2018 presents a vibrant ruby hue. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and subtle floral notes, complemented by hints of spice and earthy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture, showcasing flavors of dark plum, cranberry, and a touch of vanilla. Well-integrated tannins provide structure, while a refreshing acidity adds balance and length to the finish. This Pinot Noir is approachable now but has the potential to evolve beautifully with further aging. Enjoy it with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a charcuterie board.
