Deeper than the Old Weka Pass Road just tasted – more ambitious and less charming. (JR)

Pale to medium ruby colored, the 2013 Pinot Noir offers an earthy/meaty nose to begin, morphing into dried cranberries, kirsch and lavender notes with sauteed herbs and Ceylon tea emerging in the undercurrent. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling earth, herbal and evolved red berry flavors with a compelling distinctive perfume and notable grip coming from the ripe grape and stem tannins. It finishes with great length and depth.
