Natalie's Score: 90/100 Community Score: 4.5/5 Community Reviews: 2 Add My Review Product #: 140632 Wine Type: Red Wine	Price: $30.95 Alcohol: 13.5% Drink: 2011-2016 Sweetness: Extra Dry Bottle size: 750 ml Winery: Hawkshead Agent: Eurovintage International Inc

Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Attractive sweet cherry, dried flowers, bacon fat, tarragon and dried cranberry aromas and flavours. Dry and quite flavourful with good support from silky tannins and fresh acidity. Medium-full bodied with a lengthy, generously fruity/tangy finish. Another fine Pinot from Central Otago. My note: Humongous acidity that will dance with food. Big tart, saucy cherries. Medium-bodied and smooth. Food matches: grilled lamb chops and wild mushroom risotto.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
