Te Mata Estate Pinot Noir Hawke’s Bay 2020

"Like many of Te Mata's 2020 reds, this young pup needs a little time to open if drinking now. Once it does, there are elegant aromas of cherry and blueberry fruit, violets and roses, ground black pepper, cloves and a slight meatiness in a well-tucked bed of mocha oak. Tangy red fruit on the silky palate is tightly wound by fine tannins and lifted by a crunch of acidity. A unique Pinot that bears the Te Mata stamp of place, polish, freshness and structure."
