Villa Maria Reserve Marlborough Pinot Noir (New Zealand) Rated 92WA

Vintage: 2019
Description: Decanter World Wine Awards. Rated 93 Points. Subtle nose of red cherry and cranberry aromas with floral and mineral scents. Youthful on the palate, ripe, well-defined tannins. Wine Advocate Review. Rated 92 Points. A fine effort, the 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir combines mixed black and red cherries with subtle cedar, vanilla and spice shadings. It's medium-bodied, supple and smooth in texture, with a mouthwatering finish. It's not a big, burly offering, as this wine was sometimes in the past, but a pleasantly elegant bottling to drink over the next 5-8 years. Drink 2021-2028. James Suckling Review. Rated 92 Points. A fragrant nose of wild strawberries, sour cherries, fresh herbs, forest floor and spice box. It's medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Round and creamy with plenty of fruit and a succulent finish. Fresh and clean. Drink or hold. Tasting Panel Review. Rated 92 Points. The liquid feels pillow-light yet offers an unctuous coat of cherry preserves, tilled earth, and forest floor. Floral aromas and flavors persist, enhanced by white pepper, cinnamon, red apple, and a hint of mint; with the finish comes a juicy assemblage of sweet earth and tobacco. Wine Tasting Notes. The Marlborough Reserve Pinot Noir showcases bright floral aromas as well as fresh cherries. On the palate is an inviting mixture of dark chocolate and juicy summer berries with hints of fresh portabello mushrooms. This complex wine shows both purity and richness with soft velvety tannins and toasty oak influence which completes the wine.
