THE LAKES SINGLE VINEYARD RESERVE PINOT NOIR 2020

A deliciously dark and juicy Central Otago Pinot made from fruit off a single vineyard in the Wanaka area. It simply oozes appeal.

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Stylish and seductive, showing sweet plum, olive, dried mushroom and roasted nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's filled with gorgeous fruit flavours backed by spicy nuances. Tannins are fine and grainy, offering excellent structure to this satisfying pinot. At its best: now to 2029."

"A stunning example of Wanaka Pinot Noir from a small family owned single vineyard. Produced by 3 Wine Men, the brainchild of John Davies, a long-time member of the wine trade, who had a dream to create his own wine. In 2014 with help from his family, including his then 9 year old son, John set out to create wines that were in his words, “Making no money but having fun enjoying the satisfaction of smiles we put on consumers faces and quality wines on dining tables.” Using a very talented team of Wanaka winemakers, the 2018 The Lakes Central Otago Reserve Pinot Noir is stunning. Very seductive aromas of cranberry, dark cherry and violets, the palate has a delicate spice with dark red berry fruits, an elegant oak infusion along with silky tannins and a smooth lingering finish."
