Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir has a profoundly perfumed nose with well-defined notes of violets, lavender, red roses and fragrant earth over a core of black cherries and mulberries plus a waft of cloves. Medium-bodied with a seamless backbone of finely grained tannins and lively acid, it gives an abundance of pure black and red berry flavors, finishing with superb length.

A bold, flavorsome, polished and utterly delicious Central Otago pinot from the Sauvage Family Vineyard at the southern end of the Pisa Range in the Cromwell Basin. Aromas run a range from orange rind to blueberries, raspberries, red cherries and sweetly toasted oak spices. Very fresh though. The palate's pitch-perfect — seemingly almost weightless — and yet there's a bright and pure core of blueberry and red-cherry flavors. Fine tannins are on offer and the acid sits just right, while the flavors hold fresh, all the way up to the cherry pip finish. Drink now.
