Black Estate Damsteep Waipara Pinot Noir 2014 $42 ★★★★

6 April 2017By Yvonne
Black Estate Damsteep Waipara Pinot Noir 2014 $42 ★★★★Yvonne2017-04-06T20:44:45+12:00

The Damsteep vineyard is in organic conversion, which sits nicely with the ethos of pretty much everything at Black Estate.  There’s a deeply earthy, very ‘connected’ character in this wine which boasts aromas of sandalwood, cherry, funky spices, smoke, meaty mushroom and truffle.  The tannins are present, but ultra-easy, making for a slippery-smooth mouthfeel.
