Overview:
Saint Clair James Sinclair Pinot Noir 2023 is a fruit-driven and full-bodied expression of Marlborough Pinot Noir, crafted to showcase immediate charm while offering short-term cellaring potential. Dark garnet in colour, it delivers vibrant dark berry fruit layered with savoury herb nuances and subtle oak. Elegant yet generous, this Pinot is silky, smooth and approachable, making it an ideal companion for both casual enjoyment and fine dining.
Tasting Notes:
Pronounced aromas of blackberries, cherries, wild raspberry, and dried herbs intertwine with delicate toasty oak. The palate is supple and fruit-forward, carried by silky tannins and balanced acidity. A long, soothing finish rounds out this harmonious Pinot Noir, best enjoyed in its youth but capable of maturing gracefully for up to three years.
