Carolines Pinot Noir

95 Points Raymond Chan "Light ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is lifted, with aromas of cherry plum, red date, raspberry, sweet floral and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of red cherry and raspberry intertwined with plum, vanilla, hibiscus, rose, cinnamon and earth. The wine is delicate and appealing; lacy, engaging acidity flows effortlessly, binding the red fruit core with floral, earth and gentle spices. Supple, dusty tannins lightly coat the palate and unfold spices. This Waitaki Pinot Noir is lifted and ethereal, with an enlivening and haunting closing. Match with roasted quail and pigeon over the next 10 years."
