Country: New Zealand / Reserve Selection
Variety: Pinot Noir Marlborough
Winery: Jawbone /
This is an unusual New Zealand Pinot Noir in that it spent 36 months in oak prior to bottling. The result is a mature, ready-to-drink wine, with delicate, silky tannins and modest fruit flavors. The oak isn’t dominant, but there is a smoky flavor element, along with hints of dried herb, briar patch and mushroom.
