Huia Marlborough Pinot Noir 2020

Massive Savings on  Cellar Aged Pinot Noir 

93 POINTS: Cameron Douglas MS
95 points: Wine Direct Tasting Team

A mad clearance deal on one of Marlborough's finest boutique Pinot Noirs.

A simple label redesign at Huia has created an extraordinary one-off buying opportunity on this beautifully crafted estate Pinot Noir. Organically grown in the outstanding 2020 vintage and now with perfect bottle age, it's drinking magnificently today while still having years ahead of it.

"A bouquet of high energy, shape and form; purple to darker-skinned berries, spice and savoury qualities then sweetness of oak and mineral. Dark cherry skin and wild forest berries, crumbled greywacke stone, dried herb and wood smoke. Dry, taut and youthful on the palate with an initial firm texture from tannins and acidity. As the palate dissolves these and becomes more accustomed to the texture on the third taste a rush of berry flavours emerges to reflect the bouquet and usher in the flavours of Pinot Noir berry fruits, some barrel spices, mid-palate weight and power. Well made, youthful and needing more cellar time. Tasted again after an hour the wine shows that it will begin to integrate and relax more in about 2 more years making the drinking window from 2027 through 2035+."
- Cameron Douglas MS.

Awarded 93/100 by Cameron Douglas, who recommends drinking through to 2035+, this is a refined, elegant Pinot Noir with the depth, complexity and balance that only comes from meticulous organic viticulture and careful winemaking.
