Overview:
Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Pinot Noir is a benchmark expression of Marlborough Pinot Noir, crafted from carefully selected fruit harvested at optimum ripeness. Elegant and aromatic, this wine combines depth and finesse, offering black fruit richness layered with savoury notes and fine minerality. Aged with precision, it is beautifully balanced with silky tannins and oak integration, drinking superbly now while also promising graceful evolution over the next decade.
Tasting Notes:
Deep garnet in colour with an intensely aromatic nose of black fruits, flint, and savoury spice. The palate reveals dark cherry, crushed thyme, and subtle earthiness, carried by full body and supple texture. Silky tannins and toasted oak lead to a lingering, refined finish that showcases both structure and elegance.
