The Pinot Noir grape does well in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. So much so. that we have come to expect good wine from that section of the world. The 2020 offering from Villa Maria lives up to expectations, with a flourish of spice in the background of its flavor spectrum.
The nose is possessive, with lots of fresh fruit in its aroma, and the flavors showcase cherries, red berries and a touch of cranberry in the background. The spiciness give it depth and a lingering taste on the palate. The alcohol content is 13.5% and Norm's score is 89.
