About this wine
Awarded 94 points by Cameron Douglas, MS, Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir is a refined and expressive New Zealand Pinot Noir. Deep ruby in colour, it presents fragrant earthiness and layered complexity. Aromas of cherry, dark plum, and pomegranate unfold alongside savoury notes of mushroom, tanned leather, hazelnut, and spicy oak, with a delicate hint of violet. The finely textured palate is silky smooth, supported by brisk acidity and ripe, integrated tannins. Building with precision and finesse, this wine leads to a long, rewarding finish, making it an excellent choice for duck or truffle-infused dishes.
