Tasting notes
The 2013 Prima Donna Pinot Noir is elegant and fine. It is evolving, no question, but it's just hitting its stride now, at 10 years of age. There are pomegranate pearls, pink peppercorns, Szechuan and bramble. The wine is starting to show arnica and white pepper, garden mint and even a hint of resin. Smart! There's plenty of acid, so this has years to go. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Good medium red, not as bright as the regular 2013 Pinot. Dense, brooding aromas of red and darker fruits, spices and mocha. A step up in richness, sweetness and texture from the Waipara Valley bottling, offering a darker fruit character and a hint of menthol. This is weightier and more serious but also less fun today and in need of cellaring. Deep, plush, rather powerful Pinot Noir with rich, ripe tannins and excellent length.
