The 2023 Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is an elegant and expressive Pinot Noir from Marlborough’s clay-rich Southern Valleys. Its inviting bouquet shows wild strawberry, ripe cherry and red florals, with subtle notes of vanilla, toast and gentle baking spice.
On the palate, it is bright and concentrated, combining sun-ripened plum, strawberry and cherry with a refreshing line of redcurrant acidity. Silky tannins and restrained French oak provide fine structure, leading to a juicy, savoury and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a polished, versatile and approachable Marlborough Pinot Noir. Delicious with roast duck, lamb, chargrilled salmon, mushroom dishes, cured meats or roasted vegetables.
