The 2019 Pinot Noir (North Canterbury) is a floral yet broody Pinot Noir that was 25% whole-bunch-fermented and spent a long time on skins but saw a very light extraction regimen. The result is a suave, full wine with finely detailed tannins followed by acidity that flows like water. Expect flavors of plum, black cherry, cinnamon and black tea that linger long. While there's structure to keep this going over the medium term at the very least, it is drinking beautifully now. All you need now is the duck to pair with it.
