The Kumeu River 2020 Ray's Road Pinot Noir from Hawke's Bay showcases the unique expression of the region's limestone terroir. On the nose, it offers a bright and fragrant bouquet of ripe cherry and other red-fruit aromas, complemented by a distinctive dry leaf quality that adds complexity. The palate is supple and deceptively concentrated, with a characteristic limestone edge that provides a unique minerality. Matured for 12 months in French oak (10% new), this wine is approachable now and is expected to enhance further with bottle age.
