LAKE HAYES by Amisfield Pinot Noir 2018
Review and Tasting Notes
Lake Hayes wines reflect the land they’re grown on, with a style of winemaking that allows the fruit to express itself from vintage to vintage. The grapes for Lake Hayes wines come from some of the best growing areas in Central Otago. Lake Hayes wines are made in an early drinking style with a fresh, fruity appeal. They are young and lively, yet balanced and sophisticated.
Fruit forward primary fruit aromatics with soft tannins create a supple, generous, early drinking style.
Opulent black Damson plums and berry fruit lead to a palate that displays juicy red fruit with velvety tannins and a soft profile to complement.
