Akarua, Rua Pinot Noir Size:12x750ml brooding and reticent

brooding and reticent

with espresso and humus notes along the edges of the dark currant and blackberry fruit core

but it has all the qualities to develop into a truly special wine

elegant and beautifully layered nose offers up notes of rose petal

I also tasted two consecutive vintages of the slate Pinot Noir

Akarua, Rua Pinot Noir Size:12x750ml brooding and reticentDeep ruby purple colored, the 2010 Rua Pinot Noir gives aromas of ripe black cherries and mulberries with nuances of powdered cinnamon, mace and chocolate. Medium bodied and with a good amount of ripe berry flavors, it has crisp acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long. Drink it now through 2014. Akarua does not currently have a USA importer.
