2007 was a very hot and dry summer in Hawkes Bay producing above average brix levels. Fortunately for Morton Estate their inland, elevated vineyard sites still retain cool nights – essential to Pinot Noir fruit character development. Lifted aromas of mocha chocolate, boysenberry and raspberry complement an intense black doris plum character while underlying hints of maraschino cherries are evident. The palate is silky and medium bodied with a lengthy fine-grained tannin finish. A wonderful accompaniment to wild game dishes. May be cellared for the medium term to allow for more earthy characters to develop.
