Sandeman, Vau Vintage Vintage:2000 lingering and harmonious finale

lingering and harmonious finale

The 2017 (the only Hunting Hill Pinot for which notes are available on the Kumeu River website) was hand-harvested and 100% de-stemmed then crushed

the 2019 Chardonnay Mt

The 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape les Safres is still inky colored

It's one of the most approachable Pinots in the lineup

Sandeman, Vau Vintage Vintage:2000 lingering and harmonious finaleMedium ruby. Sexy, superripe aromas of grapey dark fruits, mocha, maple syrup and roasted nuts. Very sweet, dense and full, with a glyceral texture and superripe, concentrated, sappy flavors of black raspberry and cherry liqueur. Pliant and approachable but with attractive framing acidity and solid spine. Finishes with fine, dusty tannins and excellent persistence; superripe notes of crystallized berries along with a hint of minty austerity. Stephen
