Triplebank Pinot Noir Marlborough 2015 – $

A new label for me. An Awatere Valley wine from the Pernod Ricard stable of brands.

Pinot ruby. 13.5% alc.

Lightly aromatic, moderately comples on the nose, sweet red cherries, lightly spiced. Hint of stalk/whole bunch.

Simple flavours, not a lot going on. Moderate ripeness and extract, what you would expect from a Pinot at this price point. A bit sharp and metallic towards the finish.
