Introduction:
The 2022 Blick's Lane Vineyards Pinot Noir from Marlborough, New Zealand, is a vibrant and expressive red crafted with a focus on purity and organic practices. This wine highlights the elegance and finesse that cool-climate Pinot Noir can achieve in the Wairau Valley.

Terrior:
The vineyards lie in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, with well-draining alluvial soils and a maritime climate. The wide diurnal range—warm days and cool nights—helps develop rich aromatics while preserving fresh acidity and balance.

Appearance:
Bright cranberry red with translucent clarity and youthful vibrance.

Nose:
Aromatic and lifted, showing notes of wild raspberry, cherry, and cranberry, layered with hints of potpourri, fresh herbs, and forest floor.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with flavors of red berries, rhubarb, and subtle earthiness. The wine is supple and silky, backed by fresh acidity and fine, barely-there tannins that enhance its graceful structure.

Finish:
Crisp and clean, with lingering red fruit and a faint herbal lift.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Blick’s Lane Pinot Noir is a graceful, organically farmed wine that punches well above its weight. It’s approachable yet nuanced, making it a perfect pairing for roast duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom-based dishes.
