Jackson Estate ′Somerset′ Pinot Noir 2015/16, Marlborough

Jackson Estate makes the Somerset from hand-picked grapes on a tiny vineyard that has heavy clay soils and a cool climate. The result is a Waihopai River Pinot Noir that takes on the best red Burgundy. But less than 300 cases are made only in the very best years. Expect an intense, concentrated red-fruit character, aromas of rose petal and violet and hints of spice.
