This is a good value Central Otago pinot noir from Pepperjack. From the 2023 vintage, it has a deep colour. The wine’s aromas remind of plums, florals and dark cherries. As is typical of Central Otago, its style is a brooding and unique expression of pinot noir. The palate is medium to full bodied and has dark cherry characters and some tannic grip. This is good value for $20. Drink now. Review Rating: Good to Very Good (★★★☆, 87 points). Website: Pepperjack. Tasted: April 2025. Like: Subscribe.
