The 2008 Waipara Selection Pinot Noir is mature in French barriques and is blessed with a graceful, slightly leafy but fresh, succinct nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with fresh, zesty acidity, a Pinot suffused with nonchalance and effortlessness. Light red cherry, cranberry and redcurrant, pert and focused on the finish, this is classy, understated Pinot Noir. Superb. Drink over 3-4 years. No known American importer.
