Jackson Estate Vintage Widow Pinot Noir

There is true craftsmanship on display here, with a savoury backdrop of oak and firm, finely poised, textural tannins engineered for a strong future. Two unirrigated vineyards in Marlborough’s southern Waihopai Valley contribute impressive depth of ripe black cherry and plum fruits, lingering with impressive vibrancy and persistence. $32 at Cellar d’Or.
