2022 Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir Chadonnay hand picked from the Rays

hand picked from the Rays Road in Hawke’s Bay and the ripe fruit and 14% alc

and a note of damson jam in the second rank

but there are still

and this dichotomy comes from the tiny yield about 1 tonne per hectare

2022 Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir Chadonnay hand picked from the Rays"Sassafras, rich strawberries and ample red fruit, with firm tannins that are impeccably extracted and accentuated further by whole bunch grittiness and an interplay of dill and garden herbs. Sweet fruit seeping across the palate. The finish is long, taut and impressive. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Screw cap." 95 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, jamessucking. com
