Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to take when you don’t know what’s for dinner. A versatile wine with silky elegance, this Marlborough Pinot Noir shows plenty of red fruit characters when young. Notes of cherry and wild strawberry are framed by elegant tannins and fine freshness. As the wine ages, it becomes more complex, showing soft spices. Silky tannins and juicy freshness provide an elegant structure, while subtle oak gives complexity. Cloudy Bay's Marlborough Pinot Noir has a cellaring potential of 20 years. Fruit for this wine comes from the cool clay soils and rolling, north-facing slopes of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys region. The gravel and clay subsoils balance drainage and water availability to yield the region's best Pinot Noir grapes. This is a benchmark Marlborough wine, proof that its climate and clay soils make it much more than a one-grape region.
