Goose Bay Pinot Noir 2023
The vintners at Goose Bay have crafted an aromatic and flavorful wine from Pinot Noir grapes grown along New Zealand's coast line. The color is a light translucent purple with a little bit of cloudiness. The nose is filled with fruit, bursting with strawberries, maraschino cherries, and a hint of blue fruit that is fresh and clean. The taste is as flavorful as the aromas suggest and has a nice acidic mouth feel that balances the wine. Its light bodied but the acidity kicks up the experience. Light ALC and light tannins make the wine very accessible to any drinker. The middle palate has stronger fruit flavors with a discernible pomegranate taste. The finish is very smooth but is fairly short. Enjoy this wine with lighter meals, and pairs well with cheesy pasta dishes.
