The nose opens with red cherry, ripe plum and wild raspberry, lifted by dried herbs and a gentle hint of spice. The palate is juicy and bright, with red berries, pomegranate and a fine thread of minerality. A silky texture and very fine tannins carry through to a smooth, satisfying finish. An easygoing, honest Marlborough Pinot Noir that over-delivers at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Selling Points\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed for the Dashwood Pass that links Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere valleys – and blends fruit from both: the Wairau for ripe, generous fruit, the Awatere for minerality and freshness.
