The 2024 Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir is a vibrant and elegant Marlborough red that showcases New Zealand’s cool-climate finesse and purity of fruit. The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and plum, complemented by earthy spice, dried herbs and subtle oak notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky texture, fine tannins and bright acidity. Juicy red and dark berry fruits are balanced by savoury undertones, gentle spice and a refined, lingering finish. The style is polished, fresh and approachable, combining richness with elegance and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Noir for customers who enjoy smooth, fruit-driven reds with freshness and complexity rather than heavy oak or weight. Perfect with duck, salmon, roast chicken, lamb or mushroom dishes. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–7 years.
