Wither Hills Pinot Noir 2019 (New Zealand)

This is soft spoken and somewhat reductive at first, but after time swirling in glass it morphs into an appealing and approachable Pinot, offering up plump blueberry and red berry, white pepper and floral characters. The palate is light to medium bodied with an almost surprising firmness to the leathery, savory tannins. A textural cool climate Pinot with character and food friendliness for drinking now.
