Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2019 Review
Don't let the screw cap fool you — New Zealand wine is almost all under the cap — this wine has one hell of a personality. Not your average Pinot Noir this wine is deep and heady almost taking you aback upon the first nose lunge in the glass. It has very intense aromatics of tart berries that lurk beneath a bright and lively palate. The natural acidity races through the wine cleaving the intensity and keeping the palate somewhat lean. This bottle has something to say.
