Te Kano Kin Pinot Noir 2022

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Varietal and ripe with aromas of red cherry and strawberry, there’s a mix of wood scents and lees spice quality, dried herb and clay-like soil qualities. Equally ripe and fruity on the palate with flavours that reflect the bouquet plus plum and cedar, vanilla and pressed rose. An abundance of fine tannins and decent acid line frame the fruit nicely, medium+ length with best drinking from day of purchase through 2029."

Candice Chow writes "Medium ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is gentle, with youthful aromas of cherry, blackberry, herb and spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of cherry and blackberry entwined with strawberry, cinnamon, black pepper and dried herb. The supple tannins frame the succulent fruit and provide a silky flow along with spice and lively acidity. An approachable, youthful, elegant Pinot Noir. Match with pork and lamb koftas over the next 3 years."

The winery writes "A complex pinot noir with aromas of red berry, black cherry, plum and spice. Cherry and red berry fruits and savoury dried herb nuances lead the entry to the palate, with sinewy and textural tannins building towards a long and supple finish."
