(8/2019) Kumeu River is located just above Auckland on New Zealand's North Island. While this internationally renowned producer is most famous for their Burgundy-like Chardonnays, this Pinot Noir is also an attention grabber. Pale ruby-garnet in color, this taut, floral red drinks like Burgundy, presenting earth and lively qualities similar to a top tier Bourgogne Rouge. A different expression of New World Pinot, this smartly priced bottling will make many friends among traditionalists.
