Overview:
Cable Bay Vineyards Pinot Noir 2020 is an elegant expression of Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, crafted from the renowned Cinders Vineyard. With its mix of Burgundian clones and regenerative viticulture, this Pinot Noir captures both the delicacy and depth of its unique river-stone soils. Light yet complex, it marries bright fruit vibrancy with earthy nuance, resulting in a wine that is graceful, layered, and true to place.
Tasting Notes:
Enticing aromas of cherry pie, plums, thyme, and petrichor are lifted by notes of forest floor and subtle earthiness. The palate delivers bright red fruit, layered with smoky barrel spice and dried florals, carried on soft tannins and lively acidity. Light in structure but with persistence and finesse, this Pinot Noir reflects its cool-climate terroir beautifully. Best enjoyed alongside roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted lamb.
